The reason I ask is that my maternal grandmother was born and grew up in Sulzburg (a village south of Freiburg, about a third of the way to the Swiss border and Basel, that backs up directly against the Schwarzwald itself), where six generations of her paternal ancestors had lived since the first one moved there in August 1724. Other towns and villages in the area, where her maternal ancestors and the wives of her paternal ancestors came from, back to the late 1500s -- and/or are buried -- include Rust, Diersburg, Emmendingen, Altdorf, Müllheim, Schmieheim, and Breisach, plus a number of towns across the Rhine in Alsace. And, on the other side of the Black Forest, Stühlingen and Tiengen. Plus Freiburg itself, once the 400-year ban on Jews living there was finally lifted in the 1860s. I've been to that part of Baden twice, most recently in 2018 with my son for a memorial ceremony in connection with the installation of Stolpersteine. So I'm reasonably familiar with the area, and can't help being curious when I hear that someone else lives there![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
