One of the extremely cool things about the Internet is being able to do things like find the town where our ancestors came from and see a satellite image (picture) of it. If you are looking for Kell on the map, first find the city of Koblenz in western Germany, then find the nearby town of Andernach, and then look for a small village west of Andernach. That's the birthplace of Johann Schmitz (great-grandfather), Nicolaus Schmitz, Anton, Michael, and probably generations upon generations before.
