We made a visit to the Freidorf Church
and met the current Priest since 1989, Johann 'Hans' Dirschl.
A nice man, who was willing to assist us in anyway. Debbie
inquired about her family names and he pulled out the church
registry. He showed us around the church and allowed us to
take photos. To the right you will see the cover of a book
Priest Dirschl wrote himself. Below are a few photos I took of
the church and around the street.
