My Dotterweich ancestor Conrad came to US in 1852 on the Merwede.Two sister and a brother came at the same time. Behind the names of two was given the place of origin as Draidelsdorf and one had Dralsdorf. I've tried everything to find this folks in Bavaria but these towns are not to be found. Tried LDS and many more methods. Sure hope one of you can give me an answer. Pat of MN --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
