Manswell, Germany- where is it?

Hello Allen,

from the sound I was thinking on a little place in the south of Germany, written Manzell.
I think it is easy for an english speaking person to write instead Manswell.
Manzell is today part of D-88422 Friedrichshafen on the lake of Constance.

If it is Manzell it belongs to Schnetzenhausen/Fischbach: Catalog Search Results for {parameters} - FamilySearch.org — FamilySearch.org

German website with the place description: Schnetzenhausen – GenWiki

For the name, if you search for the lastname here: http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/v3/Default.aspx
you will find not one entry for Duzal. The lastname might have changed too when moving to the US.
Also Frank was most likely a Franz here in Germany.

I am researching also in the south of Germany, but not in this area. If you want to try this path, the list is [BaWue-L]

But there is also a death record for Frank: FamilySearch.org
There the birth place is Illinois.

Regards
Steffi
