"Freydental" may be how some folks have written a placename they found hard to pronounce... but i think we will have to look for Freudental / Freudenthal I have see it as Freidental as well...*** The spelling -thal is "older" than -tal, and we can see it across the entire range of placenames that end in either. And the "old" spelling does not include "-tahl" Jay *** Freudental Birth Records, 186x Fischer, Friedrich 10 Feb 1868 Berlin Michael Katharine Alrich? 1884110/3 549 19 From Freidenthal Gewiss, Jacob 26 Sep 1869 Neu Cassel Johann Louise Werner 1884110/3 523 136 From Freidenthal Freudental Death Records, 188xSchweigart, Johannes 26 Apr 1881 Annenthal Valentin - Guenzer, Elisabetha 1897593-1 797 1 1y.8m.29d., Annenthal Freidensthal, Bessarabia Glueckstal Marriage Records, 183xLehr, Johannes Kopp, Margaretha 23 Nov 1833 Glucksthal 1792290/2 179 33 Br: from Freidenthal Grm from Cassel Neusatz Birth Records, 184xSchamber, Friederike 21 Feb 1847 Freidental Adam 1882639/1 537 13 Neusatz Birth Records, 185x Bauerle, Rosine 16 Apr 1857 Freidenstahl Carl/Dorothea Muller 1884103/2 157 47 .................... a long listZeeb, Gottlieb 26 Feb 1857 Freidenstahl Georg/Marg.
