Looking for Birth Record of Maria Magdalena Franziska von Leoprechting

cmillionaire

Hi all:

I'm looking for a birth record for Maria Magdalena Franziska von Leoprechting (*1721, † 1771, ∞ 1741 Georg Joseph Karg von Bebenburg, PID MHZZ-LKC).

The two biggest sources I have documenting her are this published genealogy of her husband's family (https://digital.ub.uni-duesseldorf.de/ihd/content/zoom/8425459):

And her marriage record (https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/bamberg/kirchschletten-st-johannes-der-taufer/M1%252F3/?pg=39):

Additionally, there are two witnesses on her marriage record that I suspect she is related to (maybe her father?):

These records seem to be referencing Herrieden. I skimmed through the birth registers of Herrieden for that time period and wasn't seeing any von Leoprechting names, which would suggest to me that, if Maria Magdalena was born there, she wasn't christened in that parish. Or she was just born somewhere else (maybe her family moved to Herrieden?).

Any thoughts on where I might look for her birth record? Additionally, what are the chances that Franz Joseph von Leoprechting or Wilhelm Adam von Leoprechting are her father?

Thanks!

Franz Joseph and Wilhelm Adam von Leoprechting are apparently brothers of the bride, see the last words in their entry (in Latin): frater virg: Domicella Sponsa

Ah, very interesting! That could actually be very helpful information!

It looks like both brothers held positions in Allersberg over a period of time. Maybe you can find some records of theirs in Allersberg that could lead back to their place of birth and parents names.

This document has a brief history of the von Leoprechting family including reference to a branch in Allersberg:

http://www.gaestebuecher-schloss-neubeuern.de/biografien/Leoprechting_Elisabeth_Freiin_von.pdf?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

If I understand it right (and it is very possible that I don't!!) it looks like a Wilhelm von Leoprechting (who dies in 1765), son of Hans Bernhard von Leoprechting and wife Caecilie Maria Franzisca von Hauzenberg, was in Allersberg and that this Wilhelm married Franzisca von Myhlen.

There is also an ancestral table that shows a Wilhelm Adam von Leoprechting married to Franzisca von Myhlen. So the above mentioned Wilhelm, son of Hans Bernhard, might be your Wilhelm Adam von Leoprechting. This ancestral table also lists a Johann Bernhard von Leoprechting from Döltsch and wife Cäcilie von Haunzenberg which appears to be the same parents for Wilhelm Adam von Leoprechting in the other document.

https://books.google.com/books?id=SqDWEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA45&lpg=PA45&dq=Wilhelm+Adam+von+Leoprechting&source=bl&ots=cMVYtWA92T&sig=ACfU3U12FsavQuN1vs3d2Q3e8XYhqUnADQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1l4SQy4aDAxUgmIkEHaU2Bvc4ChDoAXoECAcQAw#v=onepage&q=Wilhelm%20Adam%20von%20Leoprechting&f=false

So it is possible that your Maria Magdalena Franziska von Leoprechting is the daughter of Johann Bernhard von Leoprechting from Döltsch and wife Cäcilie Maria Franzisca von Hau(n)zenberg.

This article mentions a Bernhard von Leoprechting who sells Schloss Döltsch in 1739. Possibly the same Bernhard von Leoprechting?

Could this be a portrait of your Maria Magdalena Franziska von Leoprechting's brother Wilhelm?

Edit to add:

The source of the above family history was apparently wikipedia:

Franz Joseph

https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/regensburg/parkstein/Parkstein004/?pg=18

This page has a register of her siblings baptisms before 1715 (It gives the page number to look up the baptism record):

Births after 1714 are in a later book. A sister Maria Anna Barbara Elisabetha in 1722 (there are other siblings also in this book):

This may be your Maria Magdalena Franziska but she is given the name Anna Magdalena Franziska (10 Mar 1720):
