Dear Rich, some years ago, you wrote me an e-mail and asked me many questions about your ansistors here in Mittel-Gründau and Langen and Gersprenz and so on. I lost your adress, cause of a system-crash two or three or may be four or fife years ago. Yes, its been in 2008. I would be very happy to read or hear some words from you.
It would be fantastic, if you could find a Picture of your Grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-Pa.
We couldnt find any overhere. But we need one !!!
sincerely yours
Hartmut Barth-Engelbart
it is very important, because Bernhard Kaffenberger was one of the most encouraged revolutionary People, which founded the German Democracy in 1848. The Groß-Herzog from Hessen-Darmstadt forced him and his family to leave Germany. He said, if Bernhard Kaffenberger wouldnt leave, he would be imprisoned till the end of his life.
Many inhabitants of Mittel-Gründau want to write a book about the history of this village and one chapter shall tell the story of your ansistors…
You can find much more about Bernhard Kaffenberger, if you look at the archiv on the right side of my homepage at „Gründauer Geschichte(n)“ : ((to my regret not in English . google translator is realy not so good, !!)
