If you have clicked the pedigree tab above and checked out the family trees of grandparents Ludwig Feick and Elisabeth Schwebel you may have noticed something. The name Feick pops up in the Schwebel family tree. NO, this is not an error. It seems that Elisabeth Schwebel was not the first Schwebel to marry a Feick. Ludwig, born in Groß-Bieberau, and Elisabeth, born in Reinheim, actually grew up no more than two or three miles apart! A 5 minute car ride today or a 20-30 minute stroll in past years? It's a surprise that the two families didn't intermarry more. I am sure if you followed the lines of everyone (aunts, uncles, cousins) you would see the names of Feick and Schwebel intermingled many many times.
