The Zinkh family resided in the tiny village of Herblingen. Two hundred years ago the village had 56 houses, with a total village population of around 250. Everyone in the village was a farmer. The current population is 207 people. Herblingen is part of the community Fremdingen, which has 2,000 people in 12 villages. According to information at the Fremdingen website, the area has been populated since the Stone Age. A nearby village (Mauch) offered a water source, the deep forests offered timber, game, and fruits, and the soil was suitable for cattle breeding and agriculture. (Special note of thanks to cousin Günter Thürheimer in Germany, who was able to document my connection to this family line.)
