Tony, I believe the reading of "Dornach" is wrong and should be "Fernach". Fernach is incorporated with Oberkirch since 1872. Fernach (also Loh) is growing together with Oberkirch. But I assume there are still inhabitants who can tell you exactly where one ends and one begins. - Wendelin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 5:16 PM Subject: [Ortenau] Dornach to Oberkirch > Could someone please tell me the distance from Dornach,Baden to Oberkirch, Baden in the early 1800's?

Fernach makes more sense than Dornach to me as well. I had a Baptismal Document translated and the translator listed one of the God-Parents as being from Dornach. That same person in another child's Baptismal Document was listed as being a locksmith in Fernach. Just wanted to make sure I was not overlooking a small hamlet of long ago that is now part of Oberkirch. Thanks for your input into this query.
