Two things: First, in Germany and Austria, the second given name is as important as, if not more important than, the first given name. So what does the "H." stand for? That is the name he most likely would have been called by while still in Austria. Second, it is very important that you always cite your sources! Otherwise, it will be difficult for people to assist you. Where exactly did you get the information from that he was born in a town called St. Johann?
