Altergott^FN: see Altergot.

Altheim, Darmstadt^GL: said by the Mueller FSL to be home^UC to a Going family.  Mai and Marquardt say the record says Atzenheim instead of Altheim.  There is an Altheim some 11 miles ENE of Darmstadt city; there is an Atzenhain some 13 miles ENE of Giessen city.  A Luebeck birth record in 1766 gives the family name as Honig (Mai&Marquardt:1322).

Altkirchen^GL: an unidentified place said by the Kano FSL to be home^UC to a Reischer family. There were at least two Alkirchens in the Germanies, one in Bavaria, the other in Thueringen.  Or could this have been a mistake for Altenkirchen?

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.

Alstadt^GL: there are at least 10 Alstadts in Germany, but KS:118 said the one near Homburg in the Saar was home^UC (no basis for this statement was given) to the Kaemmer woman who married the Amkein man in Buedingen. In 1765 that would have been Alstadt, Pfalz-Zweibruecken Duchy, 5 miles NW of Zweibruecken city, but that is a very long way from Buedingen where they were married.  See the previous entry.

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.

Alzey^GL, Kurpfalz: is some 13 miles NW of Worms.  This may refer either to the town or the Kreis.  Said by the Bauer FSL to be home^UC to a Mauer family.  Said by the Graf FSL to be home^UC to a Mueller family.  Said by the Kamenka FSL to be home^UC to Dietze/Ditze, Mauren, and Schwarz/Schwartz families.  Said by the Leichtling FSL to be home^UC to Hermann and Keil families.  Said by the Schuck FSL to be home^UC to Kohlmann and Leik/Lauck families.  Said by the Volmer FSL to be home to Dornus, Fuss, Gak/Hack/Haag?, and Wentzel families.

Alzey^GL, Mainz: Said by the Goebel FSL to be the home^UC to Franz and possibly Schreiber families.  Surely Mainz is a mistake and this is the same as the previous entry.
