If you have not checked your towns or your surnames at the < http://ortenau.speedyspace.de/search/ > site perhaps you may be missing a genealogical connection you could reach through this List. The surname entries over the past several months have grown. So far in June, entries have been made at the towns of Fautenbach, Oberkirch and Oberweier. In May, entries were made at the towns of Fautenbach, Haslach bei Oberkirch and Lauf. In April, I probably can't count that high, but it appears that entries were made at about fifteen different Ortenau towns, maybe one of yours. Perhaps a List contact for one of those newer entries may be of value to you. djweber [email protected]
