Guten Tag Paul,
I think you wrote to my husband several years ago because of the surname. There must be a connection because Reichenbach is one "village" removed from my husband's birth town, Frankentstein in Schlesien.I'm pretty sure I've seen "Reichenbach" on some documents. We have visited the area and seen the town of Reichenbach from a distance.
My husband's father, Georg, (b. 1912)had one brother, Paul and their father was Josef(?). My sister-in-law in Germany has more info and I'll e-mail her if you're interested in following this connection.
Bob immigrated to the States from Germany in 1963 (many Germans from Silesia went to the West after the War) and as far as we know we're the only "Zwieners" from that family here.Marilyn Z
