Hello, David, I would order the film 912191 and search for this baptism and the baptisms of all of Theresia's siblings. One or more of the entries may list the birth places of the parents if they were not born in Habsthal. Also search that town for marriage records of the parents and children, you may find something. If the parents were not of Habsthal, they probably married in the wife's home town. As you suspect, you will probably need to find the marriage to find the parents of your Paulus. Someone else may have other ideas. Good luck, Elsie -----Original Message----- From: David Stroebel Sent: March 26, 2014 10:10 AM To: baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com Subject: [BW] Paulus Stroebele marriage record? Hello, Could anyone please shed some light on finding the marriage record for my ancestor, Paulus Stroebele? If I can find his marriage record, I could determin who his parents were and trace my family history further back. This is my ancestor Paulus in 1736 on the day his first child, Theresia was baptised: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NXM6-YP8 This could be Paulus' baptismal record but unsure. Distance between two towns in 115km: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NC94-8BC What should my next step be? I was already told by the Frieburg Archives that they did not have a marriage record for him.
