I want to thank everyone who was kind enough to assist me in locating towns, etc., that I could not find. Expedia was extremely helpful. Thanks especially to Werner Lichter, who once again came to my rescue. Werner, how did you find Hof Faitz? I can't find it on any map -- but that must be the location of my Great, Great Grandmother Margareta Julia OBERTREIS's birth on June 30, 1850. What do you know about the farm Hof Faitz? Again, thanks to all who helped. Everyone is SO NICE! Valerie Hoff vkhoff@aol.com
