Hello, I am looking for civil records from the late 19th and early 20th century for the town of Mernes now part of Bad Soden-Salmünster. Your database is quite large already, so I assume that these records exist somewhere but I can't seem to figure out how to find and access them. Any help in pointing me into the right direction is much appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help. No wonder that I wasn't able to find anything on Archion. I will check out the links to the catholic records online.

…in addition you are looking for „civil records“ and Archion only provides
GERMAN Protestant CHURCH BOOKS ONLINE
Yes, thank you for letting me know that Archion only provides protestant church records. Someone else pointed out that this town is predominantly catholic so I wouldn't find any records here. Makes sense. Just as an FYI for others who are looking for their historical family members, I came across Lagis-Hessen.de that has a lot of searchable civil records.
