Cincinnati, ancestral homeland of my great-great-grandmother Frankenstein!
(Pronounced Fronk-en-schtein, thankyouverymuch.)
In other words, yes, yes, very German. Well, Alsatian, in our case. I may try to hit you up some day to go on a field trip and see if my great-grandparents' house is still there.
Oh, and this'll amuse you: the primary survival of our Cincinnati Germanness is a tendency to refer to infant males as "Fritzl." To such a degree that some friends were convinced that my son's name actually was Fritzl.
