    3. Karen, Your trsnscription shows one crucial word is missing - "Schulthei? zu Feil bei ?????? entsetzt". This might be translated as from Feil by ?????. The term bei (=by) indicates which Feil was meant or what recognizable community it was near. There are 2 Fiels in in the Kingdom of Würtemberg, but that is over 100 miles away. On a search for Feil in France on MapQuest, MapQuest points to a place about 2 miles S of Strasbourg city center. The map shows it at a location now called Ostwald (East Forest). Is that a mistake or has Feil been absorbed by Ostwald?
