Bonjour Heiko,

OK I understand better. Problem was that there is another Neunkirchen
(small town) between Franckfort and Bonn and that I was not sure which
was which. But I think the one in "Prusse Rhénane" is the right one
since the family has been moving to towns close to the border.

Thks for the help

Alain
