Need German genealogist in Marburg, Germany
I will be visiting Marburg, Germany around October 10, 2022, and would like to hire a genealogist in the area to help me with the church records and the Civil Registration building to search for my great great grandfather's records. I believe he was Lutheran or Catholic. The records aren't available on familysearch. His name is Johann Adam Moll, born in May 1828 in Marburg or Fulda, Germany. 9W4J-MFM
His wife is Bertha Sophia Wissmann, born in 1828. 9W4J-MF6 The 1870 census says she was born in Hesse Castle.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

I cannot help with your specific request but want to make sure you are aware of the Marburg Sippenbuch which has a wealth of information about Johann Adam Moll including his birth date (22 May 1828), and an extensive ancestry of his maternal side. He was born out of wedlock but his father is given as Dr. Med Johann Adam Komp of Fulda.

The Sippenbuch is actually quite a few films separated alphabetically. It's a little confusing to follow. The book is an index so it does not have the actual records but it does give specific dates that must have come from records available in Marburg.
You can see that Johann Adam is the son of Hedwig Sophia Moll #22,661; she was born 11 August 1806 and is the daughter of Nicolaus Moll (#22,658 and #22,656) and Anna Katharina Kuhle (who is the daughter of Joel Kuhle and Hedwig Sophia Briel (#9857)
Per #22,656 Nicolaus Moll is the son of David Wilhelm Moll Anna Maria Roßbach (22,652)
#9857 is in a different film:

The abbreviations make it a little difficult to follow. (T.d. = Daughter of; S.d = Son of)
Edit to add this link that provides a list of all the films for the Marburg Sippenbuch

I see that your Bertha Sophia Wissmann b 1828 also went by Katharina Barbara Wissmann. The Marburg Sippenbuch indexes Wissman as Wiesemann. The Barbara Katharina Wiesemann in the link below might be her. Born 9 July 1828 to August Wiesemann and Eva Unkel.
