The names marked in bold are our direct ancestors.
The original home of the Saegmullers was Oberaustria but on account of their religion they had to imigrate to Bavaria where the Markgraf of Ansbach had offered them refuge in the part called Mittelfranken. That the name Saegmuller was formerly spelt with two e's is of no consequence. The forebears were mostly farmers; Johann Georg was a carpenter and builder; Johann Leonhard was a school-teacher.
