Nordrhein-Westfalen aka: North Rhine-Westphalia

I want to go here because it is one of the many ‘ancestral homelands’ for me. My great-great-grandmother Mary Büttcher was from the Wuppertal area. I also saw the city in the movie The Princess and the Warrior and it looked pretty cool. : ) Anyway, does anyone know of any kind of genealogy resources in the area? I’d love to find out some more about that branch of my family. However I do realize that would be unlikely since she was born back in 1864.

Spend 2 months in Nordrhein Westfalen and it was magical and amazing. The people make the trip, they were welcoming, friendly and generous.

i went to köln and detmold and many other cities like bielefeld,lemgo…
i lived one host family couple of weeks and i can tell nordrhein-westphalia is really beutiful place to go.
detmold is definetely a worth of visiting :)

I’ve lived here for 6 years and I think it’s ok!
