FYI

for those who may think that I'm one of "those hated foreigners" who came to strasburg from northern virginia and who have no "roots" in this area, you're both right and wrong. 

I was born in Georgetown hospital in DC and grew up in Arlington. I lived in northern virginia for most of my life.

the Koenigs, however, first came to frederick county 100 years ago.

PS  Mom and Pop Koenig had 7 children, not 4. in addition to those listed are Francis, Therese and Ysabel. When I was growing up, we (my mom and dad, my brother and my 4 sisters) went to the farm on canterburg rd. several times a year. During summers I'd spend a week there with my grandmother, cousin Bonnie and aunt Therese.
