Thanks for all of the helpful information on the bark Blucher and the rail maps.? The internet is just an amazing tool! Every little bit I find about my ancestor makes me want to find out more and more about what his life was like. If Blucher has an unlaut over the u, how would it it be pronounced? Going back to the men who accompanied him, how would I pronounce Marx Osterle (with an umlaut over the O). I'm thinking it would be similar to Westerly? Linda
