AlbrechtFN: said by the 1816 Glueckstal census (KS:670, 673, 207) to be from Endersbach, Waiblingen [Amt], Wuerttemberg.  Using FHL(1,056,991), the GCRA verified this origin, and found that they were in Marbach, Wuerttemberg prior to coming to Russia.  See the GCRA book for more detail.

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

AlstadtGL: there are at least 10 Alstadts in Germany, but KS:118 said the one near Homburg in the Saar was homeUC (no basis for this statement was given) to the Kaemmer woman who married the Amkein man in Buedingen.
