Does anyone see what town Ursula Schmid and her father Christian Schmid are from?
This is a marriage record from Stollhofen, Baden - Kirchenbuch, 1629-1900, Katholische Kirche, Stollhofen, Rheinmunster, Rastatt, Baden, Germany, Taufen 1647-1676, Heiraten 1637-1675, FHL # 1045183, item 2, image 139. The last entry for Schell & Schmid. I got most of the record but I just can't get the name of the town that they are from. I checked Meyers a few ways and nothing. Schmid is a popular surname. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I see the groom's village as Schwarzach. The bride's village is tougher. It might be Mommenheim but written without the h?

I agree with @JohnsonGreg on Schwarzach as the home of the groom's father.
The village of the bride's father looks to me like Mammern. Such a place name exists in Switzerland at the German border (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammern), however, it seems a bit far away and unlikely.
Interestingly, there is a specification after Mammern: im Lützelburger Land gelegen (= situated in the land/region of Lützelburg). Now, there are several Lützelburgs (https://s.meyersgaz.org/search?search=L%C3%BCtzelburg), none of them immediately convincing. Note, however, that the second of these Lützelburgs is situated in Lothringen/Lorraine, a neighbouring region to Rastatt-Baden. The distance from Stollheim to Lützelburg (now Lutzelbourg) is about 50 miles. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any location nearby that fits with "Mammern" or similar.

Thank you Ulrich Neitzel and Greg Johnson! I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this for me. You have given me a town to research and I’m so thankful for that. I will give it a try and hope for the best. Happy Holidays!
