Dear Group-- I've just come across an obituary >from a 1903 Pittsburgh, PA Jewish Publication for my husbands ggf Isaac Friedsam. It states that he came >from "Bodendor, Rhine, Prussia in 1853." I've looked at Shtelt Seeker and have too many choices, towns in Austria, Czech Republic and Germany. While I believe the town to be in present day Germany, I really have no idea what to assume. Can any one narrow the list down for me and point me toward the correct area?

Bodendorf (Bad Bodendorf) is already identified by you as being located in Rheinl[and], Germany. Town location is also verified by WOWW gazeteer at 5033 0713.
