I am confused again or still. I have a map given me by a member of the Hoffmann family. *It has an arrow pointing to Reichenau. This place is south eats of Berlin it seems and near a town called Cuben or maybe Luckenwalde. The arrow says that Reichenau is on the Bobber River. If this is so then Reichenau is not far form Cottbus according to this map. Now my problem is that all records say that they came from Reichenau in Silesia which some kind listers informed me is Schlesien (bet I spelt it wrong),which is near Poland. Somehow one of these is wrong. Can anyone sort me out please. Albert Grulke in beautiful hot summery Melbourne at last.
