Hi Kurt, > Some of my ancestors are from Mueserbach, a village I can´t find. The > same goes for Herdingen or Heidingen. Is anyone out there who knows > better? And if so: To which parish did these places belong in the 17th > century? I assume Heidingen is Haigerach: Heidinger 1287, Heidiger, Hei(ai)ger 1811, Haigerach the valley belongs to Reichenbach, therefore parish Gengenbach. Mueserbach is maybe Moosbach, a hamlet of Nordrach. Fuserbach (Fußbach) seems not possible. - Wendelin Surname Research Database Baden-Württemberg http://genealogy-bw.de/cms/
