Today is the 283rd anniversary of the birth of my 7th great-grandfather, Johann Jacob Heimbach. Johann was born 13 January 1726 in Seelbach, Germany. There are six towns named Seelbach in modern Germany. I'm not entirely certain which one Johann lived in, but I think it was Seelbach, Siegen, Germany:
