Thanks to all who answered my query. I thought too that she might have been from a nearby town, but which one? I found 15 nearby towns. I also know that Sybilla might not be her 1st given name but have no clue as to what other name she might have. I have made contact with a William Meier who is also searching Rottenburg records and he found some Leonhards, but no Sybilla. Thanks Wendelin for the info. If I come across any Irslingers in my search, I will let you know. Thanks Klaus for letting me know that there are still Leonhards in Rottenburg. A belated thanks to you DJ for helping me get a query to the list. At least I now know that there is only one Rottenburg in Wuerttemburg. If any one runs across any info on Leonhards in the Rottenburg area, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks to all again. Lois
