RETURN TO FRANKENSTEIN


What does one expect if you return to one of the Germany Villages of your ancestors, 300 years after their departure? An Oompah Welcome Band as below?
 
Or a retired hair dresser who just happened to be visiting her hair salon? In my case I met and talked to Mrs. Liesel Nabinger, a cousin many times removed, at her Nabinger Coiffeur (Salon) below:
Frankenstein, Saarland (94)
On June 4, 2010, I traveled to Frankenstein, in Pfalz on the Rhine, Germany, where many of the descendants of my earliest ancestors still live. Mrs. Liesel Nabinger and I are related through Johaan Heinrich Konrad Nabinger, who died in Frankenstein in 1762, and today Frankenstein is still the residence of many members of the Nabinger Family.
