Where was Johann Wilhelm Schweizer from? This is from the 1862 marriage entry for Johann Wilhelm Schweizer and Anna Katharina Leinhos, from Creuzburg, Thuringia, Germany. ![enter image description here]( As best as I can read it, he is from "Mittirea", but I cannot figure out where that might be.

The word you are looking at is not a place name:

> Schweizer, Johann Wilhelm, Bürger und Bäckermeister hier, ein Wittwer

* He was a local (“hier” = here)
* He was a widower (“ein Wittwer” = “Witwer” = widower)
