Please pardon me for 2 general comments:

a) concerning German words which use so-called "umlauted-characters":
It is not at all correct to substitute an "umlauted-character" simply by its equivalent "without the dots". Instead, one needs to substitute the "umlauted-character" as follows:
ä, Ä = ae, Ae
ö, Ö = oe, Oe
ü, Ü = ue, Ue

That said Oberhöchstädt needs to read: Oberhoechstaedt.
Münchhof = Muenchhof // Mühlberger = Muehlberger
an so on....

b) Did you notice that there is a special sub-forum here called "Lesehilfen" (deciphering help) where requests for help would be placed best?

Good luck with your research and have a nice day
Vera
 
Bonnie, just a follow-up regarding my comment about the correct substitution of so-called "umlauted-characters".

Don't think I'm nit picking. ;)

Consider the following instead: in German we i.e. don't have the character combination "sh"...

So in order to achieve the same "sound" a German would always use "sch" instead and I'm sure, if I would tell you that any of my ancestors may orginate from "Waschington" or from "Flusching Meadows" ... you would no doubt not hesitate that these places need to read "Washington" or "Flushing Meadows" instead, won't you?

Best, Vera
