Thanks very much for the clarification. I'll adjust my files accordingly. Vielen Dank! :-) Don ___________________ Hi Don. There are two different Eberstadt, one being in the region called Rheingau, west of the capital of Hessen, Wiesbaden (former capital of the duchy of Nassau, whereof the Rheingau was a part). The other Eberstadt is close to Darmstadt, and today a part of Darmstadt indeed. The Eberstadt close to Wiesbaden (in the Rheingau) is very popular for its very old convent which was very rich in the later middle-ages. This convent, however, is not to be confused with the convent of Lorsch, which saw its florison in the early middleages during the period of the Carolingiens from about 800 until about 1000. Then it decayed and was finally taken over by the Archbishop of Mainz around 1236. Regards, Thierry
