Ancestral Region in Germany

G?ppingen, in the midst of the Swabian-Franconian mountains, is the current day German District from which Adam and Catharina Benkelman emigrated shortly after their marriage in 1851. When Adam and Catherine left for America, their hometown was still considered part of the Welzheim Administrative District (though rents were paid to G?ppingen). The border between the two districts ran along the crest of the mountain shared by Breech and the Schneiderhof.
