Jennifer, I just wanted to make you aware that you're a bit confused in your German geography and thus, your query has ended up on the wrong message board! Your chances of finding somebody here on the Saxony message board who would have any kind of useful information for you, are very slim, indeed.

You have to be aware that just like Australia, just like the U.S., Germany, too, has always been made up of states.

Not a single one of the towns you mention, Jennifer, is located in the state of Saxony (in German: Sachsen; capital: Dresden; largest city: Leipzig) or anywhere even near Saxony!

All the towns you mention are located in what was until 1866 the German state of HANOVER.

Just out of curiosity: What gave you the mistaken idea that these towns are in Saxony?

Robert
