While in Duhren several years ago I purchased the book, "Duhren aus der Geschichte eines Kraichgaudorfes" <br>(The story of a village in Kraichgau) <br>Joh. Heinrich Brentz 1727 and Melchior Bentz 1721 are identifed as cloth makers and weaver (Tuchmacher und Weber) if my translation is correct. The book is a gold mine of information on the village Duhren, however the book is in German. Has any seen an English translation of the book?

Nov. 25, 2009 <br> <br>I am looking for several old-time cousins. About a dozen years ago we had good correspondence on Brentz and Wolfhardt research. <br> <br>My line goes back to: <br>Hans Melchior BRENTZ b. c 1646, Baden, Wuertt. Germany, m. 16 Nov 1669, in Duehren, Baden, Anna Dorothea WOLFHARDT. Hans died <br>12 Nov. 1726, Duhren, Baden, Germany. <br> <br>Then I daughter out when Elizabeth PRINCE (b. abt 1765) married Adam Kiblinger 1785 in Shenandoah Co., VA <br> <br>I took a long hiatus on genealogy files and once again am working on getting them in order. <br> <br>Are any of the cousins who did such hard work on this family still active? <br> <br>These cousins include: Leallah Franklin, Richard Emlin Reed, Dale Dukes, Ric Tobin, Sharon Huffman, Brigitte Lloyd , Harvey Linebacker , Denis Graham <br> <br>If you are out there, cousins, it would be great to reminisce with you. <br> <br>Mariam <a href="mailto: Cheshire <br> <br>mhc217@cox.net">Cheshire <br> <br>mhc217@cox.net</a>
