LaVerne Thanks for writing. I will check the link when I get back home next week. Right now I only have e-mail access :( I know that they were Catholic as they are in a Catholic cemetery and unless things were not as I thought them to be, at that time only Catholics could be buried in a catholic cemetery. I will have to go and look later at the pictures that I took of the headstone, but I think that it was written as Oberburg as one word and bayern as another. This is so much like a puzzle, isnt it?
