Bingen

The big discovery on this day was finding that our family was originally settled in Budesheim, Germany.  And we found Budesheim as a prosperous community joined in tandem to its neighboring community of Bingen. They have actually become one community in essence.  As we drove around trying to find the Church of our family, we came across a Church dedicated to St. Hildegard.  After a few moments we realized we were in Bingen, so this is Hildegard of Bingen!!!  She is a mystic who lived in the 12th Century and many of her writings are still used today for those who seek a spiritual connection in their lives.  It was neat to connect with her and the Kunz family in the same place.  I await what we will find today.
