Alfred,
This is my Sherlock Translation of your reply to Grandparents vs Godparents.
11.8.04
I think Michael tree was from "Goellheim". That is situated between
Kaiserslautern and Kirchheimbolanden on the right of the today's
motorway, if a church book search in question come actually the
indicated persons the "godfathers" and not grandparents had to be. I
assume that a translation error is present. Greeting A. Brauch from
new city a.d. Weinstr. end
I see they were possibly not Grandparents. I do not recognize these surnames, Baum and Steinmetz. They were not to be found in LDS record of Tuhelj families. But, I have to keep an open mind, as the records start at 1739 in in film and they were sparse. I was at the LDS this a.m. and only saw Baumgartner to be close.
I have the photo of the record, so I must study the letters more closely. Baum looks close to surname Lauer/Laur. That surname is sprinkled throughout the records.10 years earlier, there was an Anna Eva wed to Frederici Mayer.
Thank you for your response. I feel very fortunate to have found these families in Schweisweiler.
My family tree in Tuhelj is: The format may not allow this to be readable.
Not Catholic.
