In reply to the below listed inquiries, I don't personally subscribe to the German Genealogical Digest, but review the library's copy of every issue. It is a very impressive and scholarly produced publication (written in English), but yet very readable by novices, and I'd highly recommend subscribing if you have no other access to it. The magazine's web site is located at <http://www.german-digest.com/>, where you can get subscription info and availability of past issues. To the individual with Army memories of Zweibrucken, yes, the base is still there, but controlled by the German Army. I am still an Army Reservist, and have great memories of the unit exchange we conducted with one of the German reserve units stationed there with mine in Appleton, Wisconsin back in 1995. The other old American military facility there, the air base on top of the bluffs overlooking Zweibrucken, is now controlled by a private corporation. My connections to Zweibrucken (umlaut always above the 'u') come from the surnames SCHONAUER, TRITSCH, KREBS, & AEBERSOLD, although it may be indirect, as the town was named in immigration documents of the ship's passengers. I have documentation that leads me to believe they may have "originated" in the Jura region of Switzerland prior to emigrating in the mid-1700s and only used Zweibrucken as a gathering point or place of debarkation prior to their trip to the American colonies (Pennsylvania specifically). Anyone with any leads here would be helpful. On Wed, 24 May 2000 07:49:50 -0500 Pryse Duerfeldt <pduerfel@nmu.edu> writes: >Dear listmember, I have not heard of this journal. Is it in English?

It seems that the US Army had a Replacement Depot in Zweibrucken many years ago. Hundreds of us debarked from the troop ship in Bremerhaven and then caught a last priority train that finally stopped in Zweibrucken. There we were welcomed to our three year tour in Germany. I was sent to the town of Kaiserslautern which is fairly near to Zweibruckern. For whatever it is worth that is my Zweibrucken story.
