Hello, I just received a copy of an obituary in the German newspaper called Delphos Kleeblatt in Delphos Ohio. I don't read German and I am trying to make out a town name. If anyone could be so kind to help me, I'd really appreciate any help. It gives the date of birth then im Ronigreidge Bayern. There are two dots over the o.The last two letters could be ye instead of ge. I know Bayern means Bavaria. Is this a town name? I have a German atlas but cannot find it listed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the place where my great great grandfather was born. I have searched for many years and all I can find is Bavaria as the place of birth. Thank you, Janet
