I am trying to trace my German grandfather who was born in Bavaria I believe. Have been told he once was the Mayor of Freiburg many years ago. He was divorced from my English granny but remarried a German lady. He had two children with his English wife Georgina Federl and John Charles Vernal Federl. Birthday certificate says Hans.
There is a "Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany" and there is also a Freiburg in Lower Saxony.
I have Balk relatives that live around "Letzau, Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Bavaria, Germany." which is within 300 miles of "Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany"
A Maria Balk married my 1st Cousin 1x removed in "Letzau, Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Bavaria, Germany."
I have a "Anna Marie Balk" born: 12 Mar 1907 and died in Iowa.
I have a "Anna Marie Balk" born: 10 Nov 1891 died: 23 Feb 1960.
I have tried in the past to get a copy of the book "1997 Federl, Feterl, Balk & Werner Families", but did not have any success.

After checking my records, I did get a copy of the book "1997 Federl, Feterl, Balk & Werner Families", but have not located it.
Unfortunately I do not. I had no connections to the people in the book and put it aside and am not able to locate it among my disorganized family history information.
I have requested membership in the site again, but have not received a response back. I think it was through that site that I got my book via a Judy Potter Miller who made me a copy of her's at Kinkos.
