Right page, 3rd entry. Sorry, this one is really hard to read.
I really just need a try at the Bride’s surname. Thanks.

Hello @DorisMiller1,

I read the bride's full name as: Anna Maria Scherrieble.

I read the groom's surname in the left margin as: Rokhesmiller.

I read the groom's surname in the body of the record as: Rokesmiller.

Both "Rokhesmiller" and "Rokesmiller" could be variants of the surname "Roggesmiller".

If you look in the entries for the letter "R" in the Holzheim baptismal index for 1695-1757, you will find many entries for both "Roggesmiller" and "Rokhesmiller" throughout. The "R" entries in this index begin here:

Thank-you @Robert Seal_1. I agree. I think the scribe just wrote his best guess of what he was hearing. Most of the poorer people were probably illiterate in the 1700s, I am thinking. So these are the parents of George Rokhesmiller(born 1711) and his daughter Maria Anna (born 1740) is listed as a Roggesmüller! This is the line of my direct descendants. All of the dates are reasonable, and how many George Roggesmillers can there be in a little village?

I think Roggen means rye, so I thought this was the type of miller the ancestors of these Roggesmillers may have been.

You're welcome, @DorisMiller1. Yes, I like your interpretation of the surname "Roggesmiller" — it makes good sense.
