Has anyone heard of Lensback, Germany? My ancestors from there spoke the Bavarian dialect if this helps at all. We can't seem to find it anywhere. Please help! Tasha L. Treptow tashat@tds.net "Genealogy - It's my life!"

Maybe it will help you to know that "Oesterreich" is Austria in the German language. Perhaps Grosschoenau is actually in Austria.

Phyllis Thank you so much. I figured that Nied meant North. Thanks for your help! Tasha L. Treptow tashat@tds.net "Genealogy - It's my life!"

Hello Tasha; Nied. Oesterreich is Lower Austria in English. Grosschoenau(Gross Schoenau) would be a town there.
