Hello again, In the Nordrach church book I found a marriage entry conc. Matthias Schaefer and Maria Weinlaender (1773), the bridegroom´s parents presumably were from "Benzhaim". Question: Who knows about Benzheim and his data? Thanks a lot Kurt (Erlemann) Wuppertal

Hello again, One of my ancestors was (Anna) Maria Weinländer, married to Mathias Schaefer in 1773 in Nordrach. Her parents were Nicolas Weinländer and Catharina Glauder(?), "coniugum vagum". Who knows more about the name Weinländer in the Ortenau and can help me find the birthplace of Maria? Best wishes Kurt (Erlemann) Wuppertal P.S.: In the birth entry of Christine Fischer, grand-daughter of Anna Maria Weinländer,in Prinzbach 1806, her grandfather´s name is given as "Franz Schaefer" instead of Mathias.

Hello again, One of my ancestors was Mathias (Franz?) Schaefer, son of Valentin Schaefer and Maria Eva Pfeiffer "from Benzheim". Both died before 1773, when Mathias married Maria Weinländer in Nordrach. Who knows more about the Schaefers and Pfeiffers in the Ortenau? Thank you very much! Best Kurt (Erlemann) Wuppertal
