Hopfau, Germany (known as Hopfau 721 because there are two Hopfau's in Germany) is the ancestral home of the Gallinger family. Our roots have been traced back to 1675 in that town.
This is further back than is noted in "The Gallinger Family History" book that was produced in 2001. Lily, our resident genealogist, has more details.
For information on Hopfau in English, visit the Hotel an der Glatt (German, English). They have some pictures of the area too to give you a feel for it.
