Dick and Pat, I also have ties to Niederschopfheim, but that is before Hofweier/Hohberg comes into play. Michael WOERTER who was born in Hofweier on 29 Sep 1751 married Anna Maria VETTER born somewhere around 19 Sep 1758 in Zunsweier. I've yet to check Zunsweier records for verification, but Michael's parents were Joannes Martin WOERTER from Hofweier and Maria Anna SCHAUB born in Niederschopfheim. Maria Anna SCHAUB's parents were Johann Georg SCHAUB and Elisabetha MAYER (2nd wife). Johann Georg's first wife was Anna Maria LANG (widow of Balthasar EHRHARDT), and his parents were Bernard SCHAUB and Agnes EHRHARD. Bernard's parents were Georg SCHAUB and Apollonia ENGEL, who's marriage took place about 12 Jun 1643. I've mapped out a number of siblings and spouses for Schaub's in Niederschopfheim, as well as Hofweier and in Windschläg, with interests of finding how they all connect. Carol
