ArchivesRe: Odenbrett?
in reply to a message by guest
You will find 42 entries ODENBRETT in the German phone directory, most of which are concentrated around the Cologne/Aachen area.
There is village called Udenbreth about 50 km SSE of Aachen. I have no idea, though, whether your last name and that place-name are connected in any way.
In Germany there a forest called Odenwald (in the south west of Germany, though), but obviously the meaning of the Oden- part is unknow. Brett/Breth could well be conneceted to "breit" (broad).
