Dave Danner Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Hi, I hope I can get some help with this. There are some missing parts and likely some errors in my transcription. My draft: Im Jahre Eintausendachthunderten vierzig am zehnten November Morgens acht Uhr wurde dahier ein Mädchen ehelich geboren u. am neun _ [zwanzigsten] getauft u. benennt: Anna Maria Elisabetha. Eltern: Johannes Joseph, hiesiger Bürger _________ , ____Maria geboren Löffel. Taufgasten: Andreas Schmidt u. Martin Joseph, hiesige Bürger; Maria Barbara Ernst, Johann Georg Schneiders Ehefrau; Jonas Josephs Ehefrau, Katharina geboren Adler. Bahlingen 29 November 1840
ixhs Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Bahlingen - today Balingen is a small town in southern Wuerttemberg.
Dave Danner Posted December 24, 2019 Author Posted December 24, 2019 Not Balingen in Württemberg, but Bahlingen am Kaiserstuhl in Baden, north-northwest of Freiburg im Breisgau. It was my grandfather's hometown. Almost everyone in his family was from that village for as far back as records go, which is basically the Thirty-Years' War, since many churches and their records from before then were destroyed. My grandmother, who was born in Pennsylvania, was apparently of Württembergisch and Pfälzisch descent, but I have had little luck with records on her family.
ixhs Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Ok - did not know, that there`s a Bahlingen in Baden. Taufgasten There`s no word as this in german - it means Taufpa(h)ten today Taufpaten. Edited December 24, 2019 by ixhs
