I have been told that my Great-great grandfather was from the Aschaffenburg area (Horstein), His name was Ernst Fleckenstein and he started a Brewery in Faribault Minnesota in 1856. In a visit to Germany in 1997, my wife and I paid a short visit to Horstein, looking for relatives.
We had no real starting point and couldn't find the stammtisch. We gave up after talking to only one lady, went to Alzenau and ate ice cream areoss from the schloss.
