Eine Mitforscherin aus Ohio forscht nach den nachfolgenden Personen, sie sollen in Kulmain geheiratet haben. Hat jemand vielleicht die Namen in seinem Stammbaum?

Und wo könnte sie nachfragen, z.B. in der Stadtverwaltung Kulmain?

The Dayton, Ohio GRILLMEIER immigrants:

John Erasmus GRILLMEIER
Born: 20 Jun 1839 (per his death certificate) in Bavaria, Germany.
His father: John Grillmeier, born Germany.
His mom: Unknown.

Married in Germany to:
Anna FRAUNHOLZ
Anna (FRAUNHOLZ) GRILLMEIER (wife to Erasimus) per Death Certificate & Obit: Born: Feb 16, 1842, Germany.
Mother to Anna: Margaret SCHREMEL, born Bavaria, Germany.
Father to Anna: Michel FRAUENHOLZ (FRAUNHOLZ ?), born Germany.

I THINK this is a marriage and I have NO idea what it means. Information copy & pasted as I received it.
GRILLMAIER Erasmus, °° 21.May 1867 in Kulmain with FRAUNHOLZ Anna Barbara register number 240, band: 9/2, site 10.

They immigrated from 'Bavaria' 16 Aug, 1872. I'd like to find any papers in Germany on this. He signed his Naturalizaton papers here in the USA as 'Grillmaier' which could have been a language thing.

It appears their 1st and 2nd child were born in Germany.
1st born known of (assumed all lived): Daughter Anna born 22 Feb, 1869 (my great-grandmother) born in Germany.
2nd born: a son, John (junior, No birth date found but after Anna)

A note on the elder Grillmeier line here in Dayton: Their youngest daughter Elizabeth has a son (Ray FORTENER) in his mid 90's living. His wife turns 90 next month and my dad (age 89 1/2) and I are going to her birthday party. Ray would be my grandmothers first cousin. If my grandmother (my dads mother) was still living she'd be at 117 years old. My grandmother was a granddaughter to the immigrants, Erasmus and Anna Grillmeier. … There's two other of my grandmothers first cousins living, both at age 100 and up. They are two children from the immigrants daughter Emma.

Hi Donna and Gerhard,

information concerning dates before 1875 can only be found in
the church books of the Kulmain parish.

If you are lucky you might get later dates also from the church.
Information concerning dates from 1875 on can be requested from
the Kulmain registry office (Einwohnermeldeamt). Due to data
privacy laws in Germany this information is given only to direct
descendants.

What you mention in your mail below is the marriage of
Erasmus GRILLMAIER to Anna Barbara FRAUNHOLZ on 21. May 1867
in Kulmain. The rest gives the exact location of this entry
in the church registers:
register number 240, Band 9/2, Seite 10.

Usually marriage entries give also the birth dates and
places of the couple and names, occupation and residence
of their parents. Therefore it may help to get the complete
text of the marriage entry from the parish.

As you are lucky to have some very old relatives, be sure to
pick their memories and try to write down as much as you can,
while it is still possible.

Kind regards,
Diether Caspritz from Schwalbach near Frankfurt/Main
