About the Book


About the Author

My roots in Germany. Seventy two years ago I was born in Offenbach am Main to Karl and Karoline Hämel Würsching. This city of 80,000 is located five miles east of Frankfurt am Main, Germany’s financial and air traffic center. This region is in the geographic center of the Federal Republic of Germany, roughly the same size as the State of New Mexico, where I now live. Germany has well over 80 million inhabitants, New Mexico slightly more than two million. To match the two evenly, there would have to be forty New Mexicans for every one. New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque, would have 15 million inhabitants. New Mexico has high desert climate, Germany has a marine climate, similar to coastal Washington and Oregon. On my father’s side I have traced my ancestry to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany’s best preserved medieval city, located near Nürnberg in northern Bavaria. My mother’s family lived in Oberhessen, 50 miles northeast of Frankfurt, for many generations. Record keeping was difficult in villages of fewer than a hundred souls. Photos and documents are in the appendix.
