Hello Fred,

Just a few thoughts to the place you are looking for. I was thinking about all kind of variants (Oberbreitmühl, Oberbentmühl, Oberbretmühl etc.), also in leaving out the part “Ober-”, which can actually also just mean something like “Upper-”, like in Upper-Valley.

Now go to the German Genealogy website https://meta.genealogy.net/ . Fill in the field for “last name” the name Demel. It will come up with a long list of Demel, among them Anna Maria and Anna Barbara Demel, both born in 1642, 1643 in Brettmühl.

Brettmühl/Bretmuhl is in the same area.

Parish registers from Brettmühl and area you can find here

When you google Brettmühl you will get several links which might help. Unfortunately the most is in German, but when you can copy the text and use google.translate, maybe you can make sense out of it. In case you need more help let me know.
