Palatinate (pulat'init') was a wide area covering several thousand sq miles. Baden Palatinate is now several states. Baden-Wurttemberg is the state in present day Germany where our cousins still live. The town names have changed several times. Treschklingen is within Bad Rappenau which is part of Furfeld. The children were born in Treschklingen, (Bad Rappenau), (Furfeld), district of Heilbronn, State of Baden, Germany (Prussia).

Prussia came into being as a part of Germania in 1701. All of which was a part of the Holy Roman Empire.

Treschklingen was destroyed twice by the French Army commanded by General Bonaparte. Once on the way to Russia and again on their return. Both times, Treschklingen was rebuilt and still exists today.
