Grosswallstadt, Bavaria, Germany

Grosswallstadt (or "Großwallstadt" in German script) is a village in Germany. My HOCK ancestors came from this town. It is in Bavaria, in the present-day region named Unterfranken (Lower Franconia), in the county of Miltenberg, right on Bavaria's border with Baden. It is in the Diocese (Bistrum) of Wurzburg.

The microfilmed parish records of Grosswallstadt are available in the Diocese office in Wurzburg. I have found no evidence that they are available through the Family History Library or through any online source. So in order to push the Hoch family tree back in the way we've done with our Alsatian ancestors, we may need to travel to Germany or get paid help from an overseas researcher.
