My great-great-great-grandfather twice removed was born in Springfield
in the US. Can you tell me where that is Cathy L?

Cathy, if you look at the list that I sent to you, you will see the
Schönbrunns that are in Bayern (Bavaria). One of them is the one that Jens'
post said the following about:

"According to the phone directory, there are only Kreglers in 96185
Schönbrunn i. Steigerwald, not in the others. As many lutherans
emigrated to the US from that area (Franconia) from the middle of the
18th century on, this would be quite realistic."

Here is the German town locator information again:

Schönbrunn (i Steigerwald)
GKZ : 09 4 71 186
County : | | +---- Bamberg {BA}
RegBez : | +------- Oberfranken
Land : +--------- Bayern
ZIP : 96185
Popul : 1739
Locat : 49d51m N 10d41m E

Jens has made the suggestion that I was planning on making, about looking
for the surname in the various towns called Schönbrunn. Here is another
site you can go to for the German telephone directory:
http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/

Put Kregler in the Name block, put Schönbrunn in the Ort (town) block, and
click Finden. On the next screen, check the block for postal code 96185 for
Schönbrunn i Steigerwald, and click on the block called In markierten Orten
finden. The next page will show you the listings. There are four listings.

Kregler Arthur
Obere Schloßleite 15 96185 Schönbrunn 09546 7 59
Kregler Georg
Leitenweg 22 96185 Schönbrunn 09546 65 43
Kregler Hans
Leitenweg 4 96185 Schönbrunn 09546 18 07
Kregler Michael
Hohenrothweg 5 96185 Schönbrunn 09546 10 99

Some letters to your husband's distant cousins might find you some
information and new friends. I have had very good luck with my past
endeavors in contacting distant cousins in Germany for all four of my German
grandparents.

Good luck on your search.

Then you might also want to look in the territories that were part of
Germany as such 150 years ago. Parts of what is now Poland, Alsace, Czech
rep. etc. And then you'll have to look for their modern names as they'll
certainly have been changed since then. Good luck.

Not with that name. It's very localizable to a certain area of
Franconia, and so are the data of http://www.familysearch.org/ in this
case.

Can I pick up a slice of pizza or a burger or something on the way. Does
the coach have a rest room?
