Hi Mary, just to put the records about the style of this list straight: I for myself am not the kind of guy who only likes alsway velvet smooth coffe talk ;-), but what you got is definetly beyond the limit. I don't know how many other answers you got already (you know about the "reply only to sender" of this list...), but here is what I found: My GOV2 database says there is a Hachenbach, but in Rheinlandpfalz (66887 Glanbrücken). I am no expert in the former Bavarian areas in the Palatine. Therefore I cannot confirm, whether this was formerly Baravia. Maybe somebody else on the list can help you on this. I checked my Telephone Directory and.... In Glanbrücken, there is one "Geib", and one "Woll" (!!!) There is furthermore a Hackenbach in Bavaria (old ZIP code: 8941, what was mine(!), new ZIP code: 87758). It turns out that this is a small hamlet of the village of Kronburg. The closest what I found what would fit your names, are one "Wolf", and two "Geiger"s, both of them in Kronburg, not in Hackenbach. Hope this helps a bit... Kind Regards, BTW: I would like to see posts of you _inside_ the list.... :-)) Stefan At 12:54 21.12.99 +1100, you wrote: ------------------------- > > I have unsubscribed from your list.
