Using FHL#2,083,960, the GCRA proved their origin in Leinsweiler, Landau [Amt], Rheinpfalz, and using FHL#193,890 also proved later residence in Heuchelheim, Bergzabern [Amt], Rheinpfalz before they left for Russia.

HilburghausenGL, was the seat of the Sachsen-Hilburghausen Duchy, some 34 miles E of Gersfeld and was the home of the father of the Reiter colonist that went to Frank from Gersfeld.

The number after a name is its FSL household number: from Alt Hofheim, [Kurmainz?]: (Getlein/Guettlein6); from Aschaffenburg, [Kurmainz]: (Amrhein/Amrein/Amkein30, Gottfried9, Haas5, Markus/Markrus/Malchus16, Reiss{Adam}/Resch1, Reiss{Wilhelm}/Reis/Reiser4, and possibly Hahn4, Neff/Neffe/Neffl5, and Weslauer/Neslauer9, and possibly Mueller{Christian}5a and Kern30a); from Bamberg [Bishopric]: (Rockenschuh29); from Beerfelden, [Erbach County]: (Becker3); from Bitter: (Tobi/Tobie20); from Dieburg: (Seitz39); from Finstreng?, Frankreich: (Weiss15); from Freiburg: (Veit{J.Heinrich}/Feit19, {A.Elizabeth}23, {Franz}24); from Fulda [Bishopric]: (Glaeser32, Hammelmann/Himmelmann38, Hiltmann/Hildmann44, Schumm42, Weissbeck36); from Gelnhausen [Imperial City]: (Lusacker/Loseker12, Renser/Reser45); from Gmuend (Wuerttemberg) [Imperial City]: (Werbach{Michael}7, {Christian}8); from Gotha, Sachsen: (Kisser/Kisner/Kiesser41); from Gruenstadt: (Habach25); from Hannover [probably Kurbraunschweig]: (Mueller{Johann}/Missler43); from Heiligenstadt: (Gallinger{Konrad}7, {Johannes}33); from Heiligenstadt, [Kur-]Mainz: (Koch31); from Helmstedt, Braunschweig: (Remisch/Romme/Romig2); from Homburg-an-der-Ohm, [Hessen-Darmstadt Landgraviate]: (Prediger{J.Jakob}28, {J.Adam35); from Leipa, Boehmen: (Kerner/Koerner37); from Mina?: (Harlon/Herelein??40); from Neckarsulm, [Tuetonic Order]: (Hoefner/Hoeffner17); from Neuburg-an-der-Ohm: (Lang27); from Rheinfeld: (Hunzheimer/Ganzheimer26); from Salmuenster, [Fulda Bishopric]: (Heinrich14, Keib/Keip18, Resch22, Schuldenberger/Schaumberger21); from Stein: (Schmidt13); from Steinheim: (Kehl/Kiel10); from Wenzenbach: (Burgund11).
