Re: WECKER Wilhelm Friedrich; Grunbach Schorndorf WUE,DEU>USA; 1852 There are different Gr"unbach's and Schorndorf's in Germany. You can use the routing of www.falk-online.de to find out. I guess you Gr"unbach is 73630 Gr"unbach and your Schorndorf is 73614 Schorndorf. The distance between these is 11.8 km. It is just 21.6 km east of Stuttgart (capital of Baden-W"urttemberg). Hope this helps.
