Most Masters of both German line and French line ships followed the central-European custom and listed the wife with her maiden name on the Manifest. Just as in the French-Canadian area of North America, the wife carried her birth name to her death. According to the booklet for Baden-W?rttemberg, "The Atlantic Bridge to Germany" by Charles M Hall, the LDS has filmed the Catholic Church Registers for Schutterwald starting with Rite entries of 1676. If this family were mine, I would start with the filmed marriage records covering the year 1853 and work my way backwards in time for about four or five years to see if the couple did marry in Schutterwald (sadly, there is the chance that Philippine was from a nearby town and the marriage took place in her town). If they married in Schutterwald, their marriage record most probably would offer you details on them and on their parents. After that, it is merely generation after generation back to that 1676 time but the information would be from the films and not from any LDS online information. djweber djwdjw@ix.netcom.com ------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "A McAdam" <amcadam@msn.com> To: <deu-bad-ortenau@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 5:25 PM Subject: [Ortenau] Heitz Family - Schutterwald > Hello List Members: > > I am researching the Heitz family from Schutterwald, Baden.
