Is it appropriate to ask for history information here? Or where can I ask?
My ancestors were in Heilbronn in the 1300s, surname of MARKART and MAERKLIN. I want to find out what Heilbronn was like then. What were the houses made of? What kind of boats were on the Neckar? There are photos of the Deutschof but are there other photos of buildings in this era? There is a map here dating 1557 and I would love to know the buildings shown.
Is there anyplace that I can purchase a brochure or book on this time period? Or links you can send me too.
It is better to have information in English but I do use Babelfish with funny results but at least it helps concerning the subject.
This is a wonderful place to go exploring!
thank you,
