My earliest known Miller (Müller) (in this line—I do have others from Luxembourg) is my second great-grandfather, Emil, who was probably born in or near Bromberg, Posen, Preußen (Prussia). He is the only one of my 16 second greats whose fate is unknown. Perhaps someone out there can help. My direct line ancestors are in blue.
