Neu-Verbas,
Hungary probably fromUC Neuhof, Fulda [Amt],
Hesse. In
addition, using

GCRA found that a possible
Heyl ancestor of

The
Walter Research
Project
identified this
place as Woerth-am-Main,
Bavaria,
which is unlikely
turf for the
alten Ritter.
I suspect
that is wrong and
that it is more
likely near
Fulda, Hessen
either
Welkers (some 4
miles SSE) or
Wehrda (some 13
miles N) -- more
likely the latter
since it is in the
