On Wednesday we drove to Heidenreichstein in search of the Nowottny arm of my family. We armed our GPS and with advice from the family we set out a preferred rout. That was a good plan but not very successful as there were many roads under construction complete with detours. Then we ran into military exercises which closed an entire district. 3 hours later, at noon, for trip that should have taken less than two we arrived in beautiful town complete with a castle with ma complete moat in the city center.
There were notices that this week they celebrated a pipe organ festival. Needless to say the church was open but the parish office was busy with other matters and the closed at 10 am. All we accomplished this day was to get priest’s names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for future consultations. We also confirmed that the Nowottny name is still very prominent in this area.
What now....?
