    1. Hollandorf
    2. In an old German letter, written in 1867 from Willmendingen, Germany to relatives newly immigranted to Amerika, a place called Hollandorf is mentioned twice. Is there anyone in the "Yoder" world who can shed some light on Hollandorf? Where? What? etc? I assume that if it is a place it would be located somewhere along the Rhine River, probably on the German side, but possibly in Alsace or Lorraine, and probably not too far from Willmendingen. It may have been the name of a congregation, or estate. (I am also assuming that the translators spelled this word correctly.) I guess I need a really good historical atlas of the region. Any help will be appreciated.
