From which place in Germany, do BB`s ancestors come from.

Post by Maffe »

Hi!
I'm from Swden and my name is Manfred Bacharach. My father is from Mansbach i hessen, Germany. I saw somewhere in this forum that ´someone claims that BB´s ancestors are from Bacharach am Rhein, but I think its wrong, the right place is Mansbach. Can someone verify that?

Best regards
Manfred (Maffe)

Bonjour Maffe;

I asked Burt last year where his family was from. Burt told me, "From the town call Bacharach on the Rhine."
