Unfortunately LDS has not filmed the church records for the town. Many church records have been moved to centralized archives, so you could try sending an e-mail to the Central Archives of the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau, and ask if the records are located there, or where they might be found. The e-mail address is: zentralarchiv@ekhn-kv.de Unless you are planning a trip to Germany to do the research, you should ask the archives about research services and fees. Good luck with your search.

Hi All - I have a question about the changing of spelling of a surname. The name I'm researching is Berg in the village of Niedergemünden. I can trace it back from 1826 to the mid 1750's as Berg. It then changes to Bergand - for about 10 years. The surname then goes back to Berg. My ancestors in the 1750's match up with Berg's before and after that time, so I guess this is just a variation. In the 1660's the name seems to be Bergken (for the baptism of a child) - when this child is confirmed in 1677, the surname is definitely Berg. In the early 1620's I have found the surname Bergk (a baptism), which seems to trace to Bergken and then Berg. My question is - is this the same surname from 1826 to the 1660's and earlier? I go from 1826-1750's - Berg 1750's - Bergand 1677 - 1750's Berg 1660's - Bergken 1620 - Bergk If this is the same surname, are the variations most likely due to poor spelling, a difference in dialect between the minister and the locals, or language changes over time. Thanks, Anita

I am trying to find information on my ancestor Theodore Smith/Schmidt. He was born in 1838 in Hesse Germany by 1861 he was in Durham England where he married Jane Ann Hart in 1862. In 1868 he immigrated over to Frostburg MD and then by 1900 he is in Jefferson Co.Oh. I have been unsuccessful in finding anything on Theodore's parents or any sibling's. Does anyone know where I can find information at on him and also what years census are available for the Hesse area. Any help is greatly appreciated. Schannon

For information about the town, you could go to google and enter Lauterbach, or Lauterbach Hesse. There are options to find English only sites or you could select "translate this page" for German sites. Paul C. Miller

Hello, My grandfather, Clemens Wiegand, came from Lauterbach in Hesse. His father's name was Adolph and his mother's name was Loyce. Clemens was the eldest of six children. He was born in 1860, and came to America with one of his brothers in 1888. He settled in Louisville, KY. He was a carpenter. Can anyone give me some information about that area of Germany? The Wiegand family? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lois Doonan

Hi Lois, I didn't find too much on the internet, but someone sent me some photos they had taken on a visit there. There are a few internet photos on this page: http://www.pfungstadt.de <http://www.pfungstadt.de/> (click on "Ansichten" near the middle of the page, and then click on "weiter" to go to next picture). There is also a nice shot of the Pfungstadt Lutheran Church here: http://www.marsteller.org/pelc.jpg Since I can't post images to the list, I will send the other pictures in separate emails.

Hi, I am putting together a genealogical book about my ancestors, a number whom were from Pfungstadt, Hessen-Darmstadt. I would like to include a photo of this town, preferably a scenic/panoramic shot of the whole town. It can either be modern or an old photo or painting. Does anyone have something that I can use for my book (it will not be published or sold -- only shared with family members)? I would prefer a digital image, but also can use something mailed to me on paper. Please write to me off-list if you might be able to help. Lance Ware P.S.: Pfungstadt-associated names I am researching: ERDMAN, WAMBOLD, ZIMMERMAN, STROHAUER, HASENZAHL.

I've been researching my grandmother Clara Bixler Bode's family. Her dad William Bixler came from Hippelsbach in the Gross Bieberau area and her mom Mary Lehn was born in Hohensachsen, Baden which is near Weinheim. They married in Youngstown, OH. Gross Bieberau is on the NW side of the area called the Odenwald which is the hilly southern end of Hesse-Darmstadt. Some of the families that I see in the Gross Bieberau were from the center of the Odenwald originally. Weinheim is in Baden but very close to the SW corner of the Odenwald. I'm finding my ancestors and related families in towns stretching north from Hohensachsen, Lutzelsachsen, Weinheim, Sulzbach & Hemsbach, to Laudenbach. These towns are all along the road called the Bergstrasse which goes from up in Hesse down to Heidelberg in Baden. It appears to follow the Rhine valley but on the eastern edge up against the hills. Actually on the map the area north of Weinheim looks like a little finger of Baden poking up into Hesse. I've read that one of the families (Schuessler) originated in Heppenheim which is over the border into Hesse. In the Baden records, I'm also seeing some of the surnames from the Odenwald - Rettig, Roeder, Karch, Hartmann. In the Hadis immigration index, I found a reference to a Lehn in Frankisch-Crumbach in the Odenwald and others in the area of Erbach. Could they be related? I'm curious about the history of this border area. Was it once part of Hesse? Does it have a name of its own or is it considered part of the Odenwald or of the Rhine valley? How common was migration in the area? Was it mostly of the type where people moved out of the farming towns in the center of the Odenwald to more developed places on the edge of the Odenwald? I bought a good map of the area published by Jonathan Sheppard Books. It is labeled [R 13a] Hesse-Darmstadt-1882. It covers the western half of the Odelwald and parts of Baden from Heidelberg in the south to Reinheim in the north. Only problem is that it doesnt show the border between Hesse and Baden which leads me to think the border wasnt very important in people's lives. Beverly Bode Howard
