Amy:
If you believe that Allenbach is incorrect then perhaps you should study all
the names on the long village list found at

a longer list exists at

One thing we dicovered was that our grandfather had always called his
village Bisiuk or Marienbach. It turns out that as far as we know, it was
perhaps only known locally as Marienbach. Its proper name is Marienberg. The
word endings "bach" and "berg" may be somewhat interchangeable.
