Help finding information sources for Muelheim, Cologne (1880-1960)
Good evening,
Are there any online sources of information I can consult for the period of 1880 - 1960 in Cologne?
I am looknig for information on the Zweifel family [Michael Anton Zweifel 1889] and his wife Margarethe Wirtz [~1901], both from Cologne. They migrated to the USA but seem to have returned to Germany in the 1930s. I have looked in Family Search, Ancestry, Find My Past and My Heritage. I believe they were catholic so Archion (not a subscriber) would not help.
And https://gedbas.genealogy.net/search/simple does not return results to my searches.
Any help steering me to online resources to research in Germany will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The best source for that time period are probably the documents of the civil registration offices (Standesämter). Those documents are archived in the state archives, for the Köln-Mülheim area in the Landesarchiv North Rhein-Westfalia (https://www.archive.nrw.de/en/landesarchiv-nrw), Rheinland unit.
Only parts of it are accessible online so far. You may send a request for more information to this email address: rheinland@lav.nrw.de
Here is a link for general information about family research in the archive: https://www.archive.nrw.de/en/landesarchiv-nrw/learn-history/genealogy
