Dave and Ray, This is interesting as I have both OSWALT/OSSWALD/OSWALD and FREY in Wingen back as far as 1740. My last OSSWALD birth in Wingen is for Johann Michael OSSWALD (b. 13MAR1793 - d. 1877 in Amherst, Erie County, New York). My last FREY birth in Wingen is Maria Salome FREY (b. 07MAR1765).

Gerhard Hein's book on Weinburg gives a Georg FREY born 1.2.1792 and a Johann Georg FREY born 8.10.1766. However, that same books shows no OSWALTs. Hein shows the name FREY occurring in over 50 villages in this area. The name DIELEMANN appears only in one book (no matches). DIELMANN appears in 4 books (no matches). This name could have been TIEHLMANN/TIELMANN. The books on Wingen shows not FREYs or OSWALTs. Have you looked at the civil records for Wingen (1793-1902)?

I know their names were George Henry Frey and Catharine Diehlmann and that Catherine Diehlmann died in Wingen on the 30th of January, 1848. But other than that I have hit of a bit of a wall. > > Any help appreciated. > > Raymond Gross
