http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/ I love dishware and this link may help to ID you dishes since one has "made in Germany" stamped on it. Good luck!
I've finally gotten back to the site you suggested and I'm soooo appreciative for the help. The pieces "made in Germany" are actually from Silesia (Poland) around 1883. I've identified the Ohio mark with your help. Thank you!!!
