1747 Marriage record - Reference to diocease
Hello, I hope someone can help interpret the this place/diocese that my 6GG is from; he was married in Germersheim but came from a different diocese. The noun is listed twice on this document, but I cannot interpret or read it. 8-)

Hello @timbuftu,
I read the place as written as: Pfronden. This might be the place called "Pfronten" in Swabia in Bavaria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfronten
Notice that in the first instance what is written is: "Pfronden Dioecesis Augustana". It appears Pfonden is a place within the Dioecesis Augustana which is the Diocese of Augsburg in Bavaria. Here is a link to the Diocese's website: https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/daugs.html
There are four places which begin with the word "Pfronten" in Meyers Gazetteer: https://s.meyersgaz.org/search?search=pfronten For more information simply click on the place name in blue.

@Robert Seal_1 Thank you so much, Robert, for your insight and links. Though I tried Meyers Gazetteer I somehow missed this. This will be an interesting path to follow, from Pfronden to Germersheim! ;)

You're welcome, Tim. I enjoyed working on this question because I learned something new along with you.
Best regards, Robert
