Hello List: I recently had a professional researcher provide data on the family back to the early 1700s. He suggested that Johann was born about 1668. According to the church book of the Evangelical Church in Kirchbracht Hesse he died in Sep 1746 in Kirchbracht, he fathered 7 children, the first born on 9 Feb 1711. There is no record of where he came from or the mother for any of the 7 children. I would hope to determine where Johann Eberhard LUTZ was born, name of his wife and where and when they were married. He, as well as three following generations were in the employ of the Prince of Isenburg as hunters and master foresters. My question is; Would the employers maintain records of persons in their employ? If so, how would one present a request and to where? It seems that the Isenburg or Ysenburg family operated in 63633 Birstein and 63654 Büdingen. Any suggestion are welcome. Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
