My name is Al Allenback (family emigrated to USA circa 1880, bros. Albert Augustus and John). I'm an Air Force colonel (base commander, Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, AL). I recently visited the village of "Allenbach", about 35 km NW of Ramstein, GE. Copied info from church walls, hisroty back to 1245. No one I spoke to spoke English, but they reall liked my business card! I would be happy to send interested persons the English translation of my on the spot research! -Al
