I just purchased a copy of "The Secret Laboratory Journals of  Dr. Victor Frankenstein" by Jeremy Kay on Amazon.com.  While leafing through it for the first time, I came across a map of a small section of Germany showing the Frankenstein castle and some surrounding towns.  One of the nearby towns on the map is Frankethal, where my, I think about 10 greats-grandfather left in 1709 to come to America.

   I got a chill up the back of my neck!!!

  Coincidence?
