My ggrandfather was born there Apr. 17, 1820. His godparents were Martin Mahler and Anne Sophie nee Thumann. His name was Christian Frederich Mahler. He was married in Belum. It is difficult to get information even though we have traveled to the area. But with only a short time to search personally in the area we are still searching. Marge Kroehler
