Hello, I am looking for any information on my greatgrandfather  Thomas Englert. A family history of him written after he died says that he was born about 1819 in a village called St Elfgens, unsure of spelling, could be (old) Elfgen near Dusseldorf. How do I find church or other records for this area?. Thomas may have gone to Heidelberg University, Are there records that can be searched? He was meant to be related to Sarah Bernhardt and maybe his original  last name was Englehardt or even Berhardt. The family was meant to have come from Alsace Lorraine, his parents were Barbara and Heronimus. He seems to have been well educated, school teacher played violin and piano, he was living in New Zealand by 1863. Married in 1866 and died in New Zealand in 1901. Thank you.
