Looking for Alexander Lauterwasser and Anna Maria Bauer
Hi,
I'm looking for more information on some German ancestors. My ancestor Adolphe (maybe Adolf before emigrating to France) Lauterwasser was born on Oct 20 1845 in Uberlingen but I can't find any German records on him. I know from his mariage record in France that his parents were Alexander Lauterwasser, innkeeper (d. after 1874 in Uberlingen) and Anna Maria Bauer (d. 22 Oct 1861 in Uberlingen). I have even searched his brother Gustav Robert Lauterwasser and found his mariage with Theresia Forester and their 3 kids to see if I can find out more through them but ultimately found nothing.
It's frustrating that I know the names and dates but can't seem to find a thing! Let me know if any of you can help.

According to Meyer's Gazetteer, there are two Überlingens - see https://s.meyersgaz.org/search?search=uberlingen. So perhaps you have been searching in the wrong place. At FamilySearch, there is a birth record for Gustav Adolf Lauterwasser here - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QBZW-MXMM - who appears to be your guy. This record is from the Catholic church records in Baden/Überlingen/Überlingen in the FamilySearch catalog. And here's the record for Gustav Robert - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QBZW-4X3Z. There is also a third sibling Alexander - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QBZ7-MNN2. And here is the marriage record for Alexander Lauterwasser and Maria Anna Bauer - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WFD2-V5ZM.
The records for this town have been indexed, so you should have no trouble finding others in these families. One word of caution - the indexing appears not to be very accurate, e.g Lauterwasder or Louterwasser instead of Lauterwasser. Don't let his put you off. Look at the original record to determine how the name was spelled there.
