June, For explanation of German districts, states, etc. go to the maps at http://feefhs.org To see current towns go to: http://www.calle.com/world/ If you go to this site in Germany, you will see the miles to the nearest large airport. This one was I think 28 miles from Neurenberg. Muehlhausen 49N 11E 404meter alt. 1325 ft. altitude For old towns go to http://www.JewishGen.org/ShtetlSeeker/ The UE would indicate an umlaut, and there were none. If you go to these and click on the lat.longitude coordinates, you will get a MapQuest map of the town.
