Yes, and my Greataunt Eusebia would heartily agree.

Vielleicht hilft dies jemand. Ich suchte schon sehr lange nach meinem Urgrossvater, Ludwig Wolf, aber alles was ich von ihm wusste war sein Name und den Namen seiner Frau und seinen Kinder. Ich weiss noch immer nicht wo er heiratete, wusste auch nicht wann er geboren wurde und starb. Ich hatte alle Geburtsurkunden von seinen Kindern, aber alle sagten nur seinen Namen und sonst nix. Mir wurde vor langer Zeit mal gesagt dass er zwischen 1918 und 1920 starb. Nachdem ich alles moegliche durchsucht hab (sogar ein Ahnenforscher kam auf keinen gruenen Zweig) und nicht fand, hab ich einfach mal and den Frankfurter Hauptfriedhof geschrieben und gefragt ob er dort beerdigt wurde. Nach ein paar Tagen kam die Antwort...selbstverstaendlich liegt er dort, mit seiner Frau, Grab ist sogar noch da..........die Daten, welche die mir schickten halfen mir seine Todesurkunde zu bekommen.

Hello, all, What was the possibility/probability at that time of there being Non-conformist groups in Hessen / Hesse-Darmstadt, such as Baptists, Anabaptists etc who may have practiced adult baptism, particularly when new members joined their group?

Hi Listers, I am relisting my enquiry for the forebears of Hans Jacob PETRI or PETERSEN, born in Denmark C 1620. Described as "Sauhirt aus Danemark ( I think "swineherd from Denmark"). No Idea where he was born however he is noted as marrying Martha "unknown" in 1653, probably in Hesse Germany, and dieing in Reinheim in 1656. They had at least one child Hans Caspar PETRI born 15/05/1653 possibly in Reinheim. Hans Caspar married Anna Barbara BADER in Groß-Bieberau 04/02/1673. She had been born in Groß-Bieberau C 1658. They had at least one child Johann Heinrich PETRI born C 1672 in Ueberau and died 15/03/1744 in Ueberau. Johann married Elisabetha Barbara "unknown" in 1700. She had been born in Ueberau C 1677. They had at least one child Eva PETRI born C 1712 Eva married Johan Adam HOTTES 1744 in Groß-Zimmern I know that pre 1620 is a long time ago and that wars and the Reformation have played havoc with whatever records there were, but any assitance will be very much appreciated. Cheers Peter Strauss Melbourne Australia

John, The question was about confirmation, which is a distinct rite in which infant baptism is reaffirmed as a person becomes an adult member of the church. Confirmation is a stage in becoming a church member that is used only by those churches that practice infant baptism. These churches maintain two rolls of membership: they count "baptized membership" as distinct from "confirmed membership." The groups you are thinking about did not practice infant baptism, therefore they had no confirmation rite. Their singular membership became effective at the time of their adult baptism. Rev.

Alan & the List- I held off replying to your query in the hopes that others would do so. The Rev. Suloff has done this and I would second his comment. Most males and females were confirmed at 13 with the occasional male slipping to 14. There clearly were exceptions in western Germany 50 or so years earlier than your dates due to warfare and French occupations but by 1854 out and out foreign invasion was not an issue and all three Churches: Roman Catholic, Reformed (Calvinist) and Lutheran generally confirmed at 13.

Hello Alan, Hoping I understand your question correctly, please be advised that unless his confirmation documents specifically state he was 20 years of age, it is most unlikely that your grandfather's brother was confirmed so late in life.

Hi Ed I wish you and all members of this list a happy new year! It is funny for which small villages you are looking for. Rebsborf belongs now to the town of Steinau an der Straße. You find it on the map in the middle of the triangle Birstein - Steinau - Freiensteinau. It belonged to Hessen Kassel Rebsdorf had 10 houses with 72 inhabitants in 1895 Nösberts belongs now to the town of Grebenhain. It is some km north of Freiensteinau and it belonged to Hessen-Darmstadt, province Oberhessen.
