Obervogelgesang

"Upper Birdsong" is the charming name of a village and railway station in the southern suburbs of Dresden. The core of this blog is the diary of a two-week trip to Germany in August 2003. My mother's birth name of Leinbach figures largely in the account; the rest of the blog covers the universe.

The Heart of the Matter -- Germany, August 2003

Here is the diary of that German trip. It preserves some details that may be of interest to distant cousins descended from the 1723 immigrant Johannes Leinbach; I hope they won't be too annoyed at having to wade through a lot of frivolous talk about inconsequential things to get to that serious stuff. I should let such folks know that after "Part 7: Surprising Erfurt," there's not much about the Leinbachs. I hope everyone else will have fun with the trip, and not get too annoyed when serious stuff intrudes.

Bon voyage!

I am a descendant of Johannes Rheinhart and on Ancestry your blog of Abraham * Leinbach (born 1625)popped up. I am trying to determine IF there is a connection but had to send you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your "trip diary."

Thank you so much for posting it.
