Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1985 - Ancestry.com

Assistance with the name of the place of birth for the Johanna Christina Keller: Geb 17 Sep 1848 and the location looks like it ends in -heim but I can't read the first part of the town name.

Also the section under Johann Jakob Joos about 1883- Does this mention the family moving from Untereisesheim to Wimpefen?

Thank you for any help!

Hello @JayBarth,

I read the mother's name as: Johanne Christiane Keller and she is from Horkheim.

Horkheim: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10845073

The note under the father's name translates as: 1883 moved to the Erbach farm near Wimpfen.

Here is the link for Wimpfen from Meyers Gazetteer:
https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/21159057
Click on the "Map" link in the gray bar at the top of the entry. Wimpfen am Berg is marked with a red arrow. About half an inch to the northeast of the red arrow you will see a place on the map called "Erbach". This is likely where the family moved in 1883.

Could you tell me what the marriage section between Johann Joos and Johanna Keller means:

Heilbronn Civilization?

? O.A.

?

25 Nov

1873

I'm trying to track down a marriage record so finding the location would be a great help!

Hello @JayBarth,

The translated heading for this column is: Place, Day and Year of the Marriage.

This is what I read:

Heilbronn, civiliter durch den O.A. [Oberamt] Gericht, 25 Nov 1873 = Heilbronn, civilly [married] by the Administrative District Court, 25 November 1873.

Here is the link for Heilbronn from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10754078

"civiliter" is Latin and in terms of the law it means: civilly: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/civiliter

So this couple had a civil marriage performed by the Administrative District Court in Heilbronn on 25 November 1873.
