Birth* 12 August 1841;Oberhausen, Sudische Weinstrasse, Rheinpfaltz, Bayern, Germany;In a diary kept by John Muller (Anna Maria's son) of his trip to Germany in the early 1920s, we found reference to the town of Bad Bergzabern as beng his mother's home. Marilyn Zensinger Laws (son William's granddaughter) visited there in 1999 and sent me a postcard (in DJW files) showing a truly lovely town (click on the camera icons above to see photos). Also see photos taken by DJW on a trip to Germany under the Places tab, above. She learned that the public records for this area are now in Heidelberg (but see below). Other records confirm Bavaria as their home. Anna Maria specified Oberhausen, Rheinpfalz, Bavaria as her home.
DJW visited Oberhausen and Bad Bergzabern in October 2009 and found the Jaeger home as well as records in the Staatsarchive in Bad Bergzabern.1,2
