Anmerkung

Although the exact relationship between William and Joseph is not confirmed, the families they marry into are. It is my strong belief that they are brothers and are at minimum, cousins. Both are my 7th Great Grandfathers, William via Charles George Keller and Joseph via Charles' wife Catherine Miller.

Naumburg, town in east central Germany, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, located 38 km ‎(24 mi)‎ southwest of the city of Halle on the Saale River. Naumburg was founded in the 10th century by the margraves ‎(lords or military governors)‎ of Meissen, Hermann and his brother Eckhart. In 1028 the seat of the bishopric of Zeitz was transferred to Naumburg. Naumburg fell in 1564 to the German elector of Saxony, August, and it then came under Prussian control in 1815. Moderately damaged in World War II ‎(1939-1945)‎, Naumburg was occupied by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ‎(USSR)‎ in 1945. The Cathedral of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, built in the 13th and 14th centuries, is designed in a transitional architectural style, combining both Romanesque and Gothic. Population ‎(estimate 1989)‎ 31,600.

Baden, town in Austria, situated on the Schwechat River, 24 km ‎(15 mi)‎ south of Vienna. Baden lies on the eastern slopes of the Wienerwald ‎(Vienna woods)‎ at the entrance to the Helenental, a sharply eroded, wooded dale. The town is a spa and health resort and is famous for its medicinal sulfur springs, known since Roman times, when they were called the Thermae Pannoniae. Buildings of note in Baden are the town hall and the Gothic church of Saint Stephen. Many historical figures have visited or lived in Baden, including composers Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Franz Schubert. Population ‎(1991)‎ 23,488.

South of the Danube the land is a rising upland cut by numerous river valleys. In the extreme southern part of the state are the Bavarian Alps, the highest mountains in Germany.
