Curt, It takes a village to raise a child, eh! I see U must have had 4 grandparents... ;) But on a more serious note, does this mean U are interested in ALL names for each of the villages below? And what of Neu-Hoffnungstal, which i believe was "related somewhat" to Hoffnungstal? By the way, have U ever seen any connections to Hoffnungstal (Alt-deutsch: Hoffnungsthal) in Germany???
