Hallo Gert Rueckel,
I am researching an Evangelisch Prediger und Liederdichter (Lutheran
preacher and songwriter) named Johann(es) Flinner (Flenner, Flinder,
Flynner, etc.). He lived um 1520 - 1578. It appears that he was born
in Zeil am Main. Zeil am Main is near Bamberg.
The church books for Zeil am Main are on microfiche at the Catholic
Archiv in Wuerzburg but do not begin until um 1643. Evangelisch
Churches did not establish at Zeil until much later.
My question:
Are there other sources / records (tax records <Steuerbuchern>, court
records, usw) that could be researched near Bamberg or Zeil am Main...um
Jahre 1450 - 1600?
Gruesses,
