Family legend has it that my family came from Trier, Germany. My last name is actually Trier but my father shortened it from Trierweiler. Later I found out that there is a town called Trierweiler. If anyone is interested there is a picture of the town on the web: http://www.trierweiler.de/products.htm Does anyone know anything about the town or have any connections to it? And does anyone know what Gemeinde means? I bet it just means photo because that is the link I hit to see the picture. Mitch Trier(weiler) POB 415 Lisle, IL 60532 paxpooh@aol.com
