I looked it up and there are several quarries midway between Munich and Nuremburg on a river I think altmuhl If I spelled it right.  I have been to both Munich and Nuremburg as my brother lived in Bavaria.  We also have Millers/Muellers from Germany.  In fact the gravestone next to my brothers sister in law is a Mueller.  Not sure if they are connected though.  Lovely place.

I did a Google search, but of course there are no results as the name of the place would be German rather than English and it is a quarry, not a village.  Sorry I can't help you there.

We use what they used.  His name at birth should be:

First name: Johann

Middle:  Martin

LNAB: Müller (not Miller--copy and paste if you don't know coding)

Current LN:  Miller

Rhenish, Bavaria should be rendered Pfalz, Bayern--there was no Germany until 1871.
