These numbers are from 1900. In 1815, there were 411 residents. Freimersheim: a Catholic Pfardorf in Kreis Alzey where there are 113 houses and 522 residents, of which 380 are Evanglical and 141 Catholic and one another religious confession. In 1815 there were 460 residents. The last time I was in Flomborn, about six years ago, it was still not much more than an intersection with a few buildings, including a church. The countryside however is beautiful, lots of vineyards and wineries. Hope this helps you Gary 25 April 2000 Baltimore >> More than you know. Thanks for all the trouble. Rev. Nathan R.
