Can someone tell me where Thiergarten is located? Thanks.....Tony Fetz

Tony, Thiergarten is an old name for the town of Tiergarten which today is part of the consolidated town of Oberkirch. You can check this at < http://ortenau.speedyspace.de/ > by clicking on Oberkirch and working your way down from the basic town through the additional towns which have been consolidated into it. If your next question might be in which LDS films are the Church Registers, I've seen them or some of them but I don't remember where. The Tiergarten films, themselves, are relatively recent (from the early 1800s) so I would guess I had seen the earlier Register information at older books of Ulm, Oberkirch or Nußbach (Oberkirch is my best guess). I can suggest either someone else who has worked the films will answer you or you may have to search and dig through the LDS catalog to figure out which nearby town has the earlier information for Tiergarten. Geographical, Tiergarten is north of Oberkirch, an easy walking distance. It is east of Stadelhofen, another easy walking distance, Ulm is to the north, a little bit longer for a walk but still a possibility and Haslach even closer between Ulm and Tiergarten with Erlach, Zusenhofen and Nußbach not that far to the west beyond Stadelhofen. I trust you have some maps of the area or can search some on-line site such as < http://www.mapquest.com >, < http://www.mapblast.com >, < http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm >, < http://www.stadtplandienst.de/ >, < http://www.ortenaukreis.city-map.de/city/db/162908000000.html > or, without a map, the Nearest Neighbours link at < http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp >. djweber [email protected] ---------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 6:09 PM Subject: [Ortenau] Thiergarten > Can someone tell me where Thiergarten is located? > Thanks.....Tony Fetz

DJ, thanks that is what I was wishing to hear. No I have not seen a map of Oberkirch with the surrounding hamlets like Loh, Winterbach, Tiergarten shown. Loh is the place most mentioned in the documents that I have seen so far. I have viewed 3 tapes from Oberkirch and have ordered an additional 3 more. Should be in next week. I am in search for any brother or sisters of my ggg-grandfather Joseph Fetz or his Father Casper Fetz. They have been listed as citizens of Oberkirch. On the side of the church document is listed their name with Loh. Sponsors for baptism were listed from Winterbach as well so I thought it to be close to Oberkirch. Would you know of any history to be found of the Oberkirch area before 1750 to 1850? Maps of that particular area of that time as well? I have been reading everything I can get my hands on but nothing yet of that particular area during that time frame.
