Hi Mitzi,

that's German for Esztergom, in county Esztergom and was the county seat.
Today you will find it in Hungary.

Obergalla should be Felso"galla, in county Komárom, district Tata. Today
belongs to Tatabánya in Hungary (since 1947).

Ferencz/Ferenc is Francis. Franz would be the German equivalent.
