On 12 May, 30 May, and 9 June, 1778, the following advertisement for missing heirs was published in the German newspaper Oberpostants Zeitung (OPZ): "Jacob and Elisabeth Huth, of Engelstadt, District of Bingen, left there about 30 years ago and, according to common report, went to Pennsylvania. Advertisement of government 13 March 1778." In the newspaper files, following the text of the advertisement is an entry "JACOB HUTH, aged 29, Loyal Judith 2 Aug 1743."

Does anyone know where the newspaper Oberpostants Zeitung (OPZ) was published? I am trying to get a photostat or Xerox copy of the original newspaper item.

Or, does anyone have the mail or E-mail address of a present day newspaper in Mainz or Bingen?
