This small town located outside Frankfurt was home to the Amborn family prior to their emigration to the United States in 1847.  They were reportedly part of a group of 16 or 18 families who left the region together and traveled to Walworth County, Wisconsin in the United States.

It is located about a mile East of Wernshausen (see Niederschmalkalden on Google Maps) where the Kümpel (Kimball) family lived.

 This is the Protestant church in Niederschmalkalden as it appeared when I photographed in in August, 2017.

 

The nearby cemetery has many graves from the 1900’s to the present from the Amborn, Kümpel and Storandt families.
