Plittersdorf, Waldprechtsweier, Rastatt Genealogy
Hello all! I will be taking a holiday to Vienna/Salzburg/Innsbruck from Nov. 2-20 and plan to make a trip to the Rastatt area to try and get a feel for the area where my Nold ancestors once lived. I would really like to visit the cemeteries where they were buried (I know that graves are commonly reused and any tombstone inscriptions most likely no longer exist) but have no idea how to locate the Roman Catholic cemetery/cemeteries in each village. Are there local record sources to research while in the area? Any possible connection to living relatives would be amazing, also!
My ancestors are as follows:
-Adam NOLD (died bef. 1737, Waldprechtsweier)
-Anton NOLD (~1710 - aft. 1774) - 1. Christina HERMANN* 1737, 2. Maria Barbara GÖTZ 1753
-Johannes NOLD (1745, Waldprechtsweier - 1808, Plittersdorf) - Rosina UHRIG* 1774
-Johannes NOLD (1785, Plittersdorf - 1847, Plittersdorf) - Philippina MÜLLER* 1818
-Johannes NOLD (1831, Plittersdorf - 1907, Tennessee, USA)
Any advise and/or connections would be greatly appreciated!

Compgen has a cemetery project in which they show gravestones at cemeteries across Germany. It's an ongoing project so not all cemeteries are represented, but it's a good starting point. Try this link - https://grabsteine.genealogy.net/

Plittersdorf and Waldprechtsweier are so small communities that there is only one cemetery at each location today, see Google Maps:
I would assume that these are also the places where your ancestors were buried, although their graves are probably not existing any more.

As a first local contact you may want to reach out to the catholic parish in Plittersdorf (now part of Iffezheim-Ried): https://www.kath-iffezheim-ried.de/die-seelsorgeeinheit-iffezheim-ried/pfarrgemeinden-in-der-se/st-jakobus-plittersdorf/
