The Gengler-Bonifas house in Nospelt is an ancestral home to both our Gengler and Bonifas ancestors. The top photo shows it as it looks today. It is now a Gasthaus (tavern, or inn). The word tavern is really inadequate, but will have to do for now.
The bottom photo shows some Bonifas relatives standing with me in front of it. From left to right: Nicolas BONIFAS, his son Larry BONIFAS who lived for a period of time in the US as an exchange student, Vincent FALTER (me), and Nicolas' wife, Josette CLEMENS-BONIFAS. Nicolas, Josette, and Larry have been extremely helpful in our research on the Bonifas line and gracious to us as visitors to Nospelt, and I wish to thank them for their kindness, generosity, and their time and effort to assist us.
There is an interesting story about the house and an anvil told in Volume I of the Falter family genealogy and history.
