This message has NO exact connection to the Ortenau NO exact connection to any towns of the Ortenau and might have only an extremely slim potential to any connection to emigrants from the Ortenau. However, as I know of a few instances where Ortenau emigrants did settle in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, possibly the URL < http://directory.evendon.com > might have information for some of our List members. The individuals who maintain this site (and my information is from another List) have uploaded various City Directories to this location. Recently, they included Cincinnati, Ohio for 1872 and 1875 as well as Norwood, Ohio for five directory editions between 1896 and 1918 with the promise eventually to add the 1880 Cincinnati City Directory to their site. djweber djwdjw@ix.netcom.com
