Hello Patsy, please go to google maps and enter: Germany Nassau Post code: 56337 The town is situated northwest of Frankfurt, not so very far from Koblenz and the Rhein river. There is a nice old castle: http://www.burgnassau.de/ Good luck for your researches! Brigitte Sorry, that it is so very long. --- On Wed, 9/28/11, Patsy Hand <patsy2931@suddenlink.net> wrote: From: Patsy Hand <patsy2931@suddenlink.net> Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Johann Heibel To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, September 28, 2011, 7:01 AM With my limited knowledge of the history, etc of Germany I have bee trying to help a friend with his German family. The name is Johann Heibel, b. June 1839. Possibliy had a brother, Christopher that did not come to America. Johann came about 1882/83 and settled in South Texas. He was a Catholic. MY friend has Johann's diary where he wrote he was born Nassau Hessen, Germany. My friend thinks that means Johann was b. in the city of Nassau, state of Hessen, Germany. I think grandpaw meant to say the district of Hessen Nassau, Germany and no village or town listed. Can someone out there either agree with my friend or me. If I am right, I would like to get my friend going in another direction.
