Aach^GL, Freudenstadt [Amt], Wuerttemberg: is 3 miles E of Freudenstadt city, and was said by the 1816 Kassel census (#68) to be home^UC to the  widow Schmelzle who married Herr Sattler.  Named by the 1816 Neudorf census (#37) as a possible origin^UC of the Flaig family.

Alberg^FN: said by KS:118 and by the Orlovskaya FSL (or58) to be from^UC Dessau (no locality mentioned); a Knoll step-son was living with them which would indicate that frau Alberg was previously frau Knoll.  Her maiden name was given as Lindtner in 1798 (Mai1798:Mv2187).  This family is recorded in archival materials as having sold their home in Anhalt-Dessau and as having left for Russia (Mai&Marquardt#1046).  Herr Alberg is mentioned as a god-parent for a Scheel child in Luebeck in 1766 (Mai&Marquardt#1310).

Albers{Dorothea E.}: married Gill{Nikolaus} 4 August 1766  in Luebeck (Mai&Marquardt#202 and KS130).  They may have settled in Schaffhausen which has so far no printed FSL.  However the household head in Mai1798, Bettinger household #17,  is the widowed Gille{Nikolaus} age 68, from Schaffhausen.

Albert{Elisabeth nee Berg}: in 1798 she was in Kind, the widow of some unknown Albert man; they should have been in some FSL but have not be found; the 1798 entry mentions no earlier colony (Mai1798:Kd18), so they may well have been among the Kind first settlers.

Albert{J.Georg}^FN: said by the Walter FSL (wt30) to be from^UC Golzhiem, Hessen-Nassau County.  The Buedingen ML says this man married in 1766 a Seilser woman; KS:118, naming no source, said he was from^UC Wertheim near Hoehfeld, Hessen (Mai&Marquardt#408).

Albert{M.Elisabeth}: this young girl was in the 1798 Zug census (Zg38) with her Louis husband; no hint was given as to from whence either one came; so she could be the last surviving member of a Zug first settler family.

Albert{Margarete}^FN: married a Poehlen man in 1766 in Buedingen and was said to have been from^UC Wertheim [County] (Mai&Marquardt#533 and KS:118 & 148.  I did not find them in Mai1798..

This may be the Lutheran Ahlbrecht{J.Adam} and wife who were in Kolonie J8 “Friderichshaab”, Amt Coldinghuus, Danemark in 1761 and who left there in 1763; for more detail see EEE:333.

Albrecht{A.Barbara}: born 1741 in Heiligkreutz in the Odenwald, she married  Engelhardt^FN{Christian} in Fredericia, Denmark (now Schleswig-Holstein). She is listed in Anton FSL (#11).  For 1798 see (Mai1798:An56 and 62).

Albungen?^GL, Darmstadt: said by the Paulskaya FSL to be home^UC to a Freund family.  Albungen apparently is a mistranscription since the real Albungen was in Hessen-Kassel some 23 miles ESE of Kassel city.  This may actually have been Alten Buseck which was in Hessen-Darmstadt.

Alsheim[sic?], Nassau-Usingen [Principality][sic?]: Either the locality or the country or both, said by the Straub FSL to be home^UC to a Krotz family were incorrect.  As best I can tell there was no A–heim of any stripe in Nassau-Usingen and there is an Alsheim 15 km E of Alzey city, then in Kurpfalz.

Altenbueren, [Hessen-]Darmstadt [Landgraviate]: this is a  mistake for Alten Buseck which is some 3 miles NNE of Giessen city and said by the Warenburg FSL to be home^UC to Freund, Muehl and Simon families.  This is Alten Buseck (Mai&Marquardt#322).

Alt Schlaffzig^GL, Posen [Department], South Prussia: aka Gross Slawsk.

Alt Simmern^GL, Baden: said by the Koehler FSL to be home^UC to a Siebert family, and possibly to an Eberle family.  One would expect this place to be associated with Simmern, the seat of the Pfalz-Simmern Principality.  But I have found no such references regarding it, nor have I found it on any map or in Meyers.   I have found a reference saying it was a village in the Pfalz area which of course Simmern also was.  A bit W of Simmern city was Sponheim County which was then a part of Baden … perhaps it was in Sponheim?

Altstadt^GL: said by the Buedingen ML to be home^UC to an Ickes woman who in 1766 married a Niedenthal man; by 1767 this couple was in Kutter; Stumpp says this was Altenstadt near Buedingen (Mai&Marquardt#629).  Of course this might have been the old city within Buedingen itself.

Alt-Urbach^VV: another name for Urbach^VV.

Alzey^GL: an unidentified place said by the Ober-Monjou FSL to be home^UC to a Geist family.  Kuhlberg said this was in Wuerzburg [Bishopric].  I can only find one Alzey in Germany and it was never in Wuerzburg lands.  Surely this is the same place as the next entries.

Alzey^GL: said by the Katharinenstadt FSL to be home^UC to Gaertner, Helwig? and possibly Elscheid families.  This surely is the same place as the next entry.

Amend ^FN: the woman from Sandbach who married in Hoechst the Hoffaerber man who settled in Frank (Gieg1).  Spellings for the Amen surname started as Am End to Am Ende to Am Emdt to Amend.
