If a town name is followed by "Unterfranken" where would that town be located. I am looking for "Feuerbach". I checked the Hessen site and found many towns by that name and am trying to figure out which one is the town I'm looking for. Shirley

Shirley, I would bet that the Feuerbach that you are looking for is located right on the outskirts of STUTTGART (which I believe is in the state of Wuerttemberg.) This is pretty close to Franken or Franconia which is slightly northeast. Unter Franken means Lower Franconia which would fit right in. Historically, the boundaries have probable changed over the years. Maybe someone else on the list is a better historian than I am and can give us some insight.

Feuerbach in Unterfranken is 25 km east of Würzburg; today it is part of 97355 Rüdenhausen. To find it on a map you must put your finger on Würzburg, then follow the Autobahn in eastern direction. * Dieter
