From Richard Welch on March 27, 2004:

BEGIN

I was in Germany last year and spent a few days searching for the villages
where my German Valley ancestors originated.  It is confusing to say that
these places were in Bavaria or Prussia unless you understand the comings
and goings of the royal families of Bavaria, Zweibrucken, Trier, Prussia and
other German principalities. Bavaria did not formally rule the Palatinate
until after the defeat of Napoleon, although intermarriages gave Bavaria some
authority over the region. There were many small principalities, grafschafts
(which translates as "counties", areas ruled by a count, but which are not
the same as counties in the US), free cities, church lands, etc. and all
part of the Holy Roman Empire. German unification in the 1870s by Bismarck
made the Grafschafts obsolete, but some are still known today as Landkreis.

WINTERMUTE - came to North America from Pfungstadt, now a suburb of Darmstadt
in Hesse-Darmstadt. They were in Allendorf (now Bad Sooden-Allendorf),
which is located about 15 miles east of Kassel, in the early 17th century.
