I am looking for the baptism of Henricus (Heinrich) Gerardi around 1686, the place of baptism and the parents. Heinrich lived in Bonn around 1714. He moved to the village of Merzbach near Rheinbach with his third wife Elisabeth Schwarz. He died there around 1756.

Hello @Iuncus,
"Ich suche nach der Taufe von Henricus (Heinrich) Gerardi um 1686, dem Taufort und den Eltern. Heinrich lebte um 1714 in Bonn. Mit seiner 3. Frau Elisabeth Schwarz zog er in das Dorf Merzbach bei Rheinbach. Dort starb er um 1756."
I found a Henicus Gerardi married to Anna Elisabeth Schwartz at FamilySearch LKF1-KCG (see link below), and the birth year for Henicus is the same as the one you had provided.

This seems to be "your" Henicus Gerardi. The couple had two children and their baptism records (index only) are found under "Sources" (see links below), which gives the baptism dates as 1729 and 1733 in Neukirchen, Rheinbach, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland.

Question: The marriage record for Henricus Gerardi and Elisabeth Schwarz or the marriage record for their son Martini might have a bit of information that could be helpful. Although, the records in the early 1700s are most likely lacking in any details. Do you already have a copy of these marriage records? If not, when I have a chance I could check film number 176107 at the FamilySearch library (see link below) for "Katholische Kirch Neukirchen (Kr. Rheinbach), since that is where the children were baptized, and look for the marriage records.

Do you have any other information about Henricus?
