THank you, Stefan, for your answer.  Can you tell me where 
Mittelfranken is?  In my post, below, I said that he was born in 
Mittelfranken but "came" from, i.e.  lived at some point, near the 
southwest corner of Baden-Wurttemburg.  As I said in a previous post, I 
don't know much about the geography and history of Germany, and don't 
pretend to be an expert.  Hopefully, those on this board who are can be 
helpful and point me in the right direction.
