I couldn't find the marriage Schaub-Heitz in Niederschopfheim. My baptism records of Niederschopheim end with 1806 or 1809 so I can't search for Phillipine Schaubs baptism in 1829. Do you know the name of her parents? Maybe Carol has still the films of Niederschopfheim and can search for that baptism. - Wendelin On Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:50:49 +0200 Wendelin Irslinger <genealogy@babbalu.com> wrote: > Hello A., > > seems Robert Heitz is not in the emigration database > (http://www.auswanderer-bw.de/) listed.
