Hi,

www.mapquest.com shows the location of Zomba in modern Hungary -- west
of the Danube actually -- in the region of Schwaebische Tuerkei.
There seem to be a couple cases of Tobad, so you may like to investigate
yourself. You may also want to try http://www1.jewishgen.org/loctown.HTM.

For info on Schwaebische Tuerkei (including bibliography), see

and its parent page at
