My Maternal Lineage: Update 3; Final Update

Two weeks ago I discussed the updates I had found on my direct maternal lineage; you can find the post here. At that point, the following was all I knew on the oldest member of my maternal line:

5. Maria Obergfell

b. unknown

d. unknown

m. Jacob Löhrer; 21 Aug 1660, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Hans Jacob Löhrer, b. 21 Jun 1669, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Hans Georg Löhrer, b. 17 Jan 1678, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Barbara Löhrer, b. 24 Apr 1679, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Anna Maria Löhrer, (above)

As of Tuesday, I've made some new discoveries that will likely be the end of my maternal lineage (with the exception of needing to find the death of Maria Obergfell). The Hornberg Evangelical parish records begin in 1635, so I cannot go any further. I was actually extremely lucky to have found what I was able to on Tuesday. Here are the results of that research:

5. Maria Obergfell

b. 13 Mar 1635 (illegitimate)

d. unknown

m. Jacob Löhrer; 21 Aug 1660, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Hans Jacob Löhrer, b. 21 Jun 1669, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Hans Georg Löhrer, b. 17 Jan 1678, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Barbara Löhrer, b. 24 Apr 1679, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Anna Maria Löhrer, (above)

6. Ursula Joos

b. abt 1609, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

d. 13 Nov 1676, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

m. Erhardt Obergfell; 17 May 1636, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Anna Maria Obergfell, (above) (illegitimate)

*Christina Obergfell, b. 06 Mar 1640, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Jacob Obergfell, b. 14 Mar 1644, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Lucia Obergfell, b. 24 Jun 1646, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Barbara Obergfell, b. 10 Jan 1648, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Anna Obergfell, b. 14 Jan 1650, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Johanna Obergfell, b. 08 Nov 1652, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

*Johannes Obergfell, b. 08 Dec 1655, Schondel, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

My maternal line ends with an Ursula Joos, according to her age at death born about 1609. According to her marriage record, she was the daughter of Georg Joos. Her husband, Erhadt Obergfell, was the son of an Erhardt Obergfell. They were the only Obergfell noticeably living in the Hornberg parish in the 1630's-1650's.

I have a lot more research to perform on this line of the family, but that's time permitting and when I actually order the Kirnbach Evangelical microfilmed records via the LDS. Any relatives care to help contribute to these costs? I could go back probably another 100 years or so. :)

My Maternal Lineage: Update 1

Back in May of 2010, I made a post highlighting my maternal line from my family tree. You can find that here. Since then, I've been able to make a tiny bit of progress which I'll share with you all here.

As of May 2010 my ninth generation maternal ancestor was the following:

9) Catharina Beilharz

Born 16 Jan 1761, Hohenweg, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

Died unknown

Married Christian Brohammer, 26 Sep 1787, Gutach, Ortenau, Baden, Germany

Several months ago I was finally able to locate the death record for Catharina (pictured to the right). This death record states that she died on 30 Oct 1818 in Gutach. The death was recorded on 01 Nov 1818. She was born on 16 Jan 1761 to late Johann Jacob Beilharz, a day-laborer from Hohenweg (a community in Gutach previously belonging to Hornberg), and the late Barbara Winkler (Winklerin; a lot of German records add "-in" to the end of surnames for females, much like Poland using "-ska" for females instead of "-ski". She was married first to Christian Brohammer on 26 Sep 1787. She was married second to George Breithaupt, a day-laborer in Sulzbach (a community in Gutach), on 27 Sep 1807. She was 57 years, 9 months and 7 days old.

With this information, I'm able to add one more generation to my maternal lineage:

10) Barbara Winkler
Born unknown
Died before 30 Oct 1818, possibly Hohenweg, Hornberg, Ortenau, Baden, Germany
    (Catharina's death record states Barbara was deceased)
Married Johann Jacob Beilharz, before 16 Jan 1761

Now, I just need to order the microfilms for Hornberg... all 6 of them!
