    3. Hello to all who responded to my Erzweiler query, Many thanks for your interest. This mailing list has a lot of very nice respondants and I am extemely appreciative of your help and suggestions. It's very possible the little village of Erzweiler has disappeared since my Doll ancestors emigrated in 1737 and 1739. If that proves to be the case, then a photograph is out of the question. I was incorrect in my first message and want to correct the location of Erzweiler. It is northwest of Ulmet or it was when it existed in 1737. In any case, there is documentation for its existence in the records, as well in a very good book "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from German-Speaking Lands to North America, Vol. II: The Western Palatinate," by Annette K. Burgert, [Birdboro, PA: The Penn. German Society, 1985]. For those searching for ancestors who came to the eastern areas of Pennsylvania from the western Palatinate, Germany may find this book a good resource. Burgert's research matches the immigrant's Pennsylvania records to the German records. She took my Doll line back three more generations. Again, thanks to all for your interest and suggestions.
