I have been going though Herrenwies church records and wonder about baptism practices in the late 18th and early 19th century. I first noticed this looking at IGI extracted records a few years back. Now that I've seen the actual baptism record it makes me wonder about births occuring early in the morning in Hundsbach, and baptism later that day in Herrenwies. Did this actually happen, or would a priest travel from Herrenwies to Hundsbach for the baptism? For instance in a record for my great3 grandmother... "Anno Domini qui Supra Die Decima tertia Mensis Decembris [1796] a me infra scripto baptizata est Lucia filia legitima Josephi Feser Lignicidae et Evae Geiserin conjugum legitimoru in Hundsbach. Nata fuit circa horam secundam matutinam." If I understand this record correctly, she was born about two in the morning the same day she was baptized. With both events in Hundsbach? I have seem some other records from this time giving the father's name and occupation, then something like loci Schwarzenbach, then the mothers name. I would seem to me that baptism's in Schwarzenbach, just north of Erbersbronn, would be done from the parish in Forbach, rather than Herrenwies. Or could the mother have been staying with relatives for the birth, in Herrenwies? Thanks much for any help. Christopher Barttels Dayton, WA www.chrisbarttels.net<http://www.chrisbarttels.net/>
