Need Help in finding records from Oberlind, Thuringia, Germany

Bob Venter

I’m researching a several times great-grandfather, Johann Liebermann, who was reported born in Hönbach, Germany on Feb. 15, 1796. Hönbach is located a little south-west of Sonnenberg in the state of Thuringia. I believe Hönbach residents attended the church in Oberlind. Does anyone know where I can get a look at the Oberlind church records? Your help would be appreciated. Bob Venter (email removed)

Catholic parish records or Protestant parish records?

Sonneberg has both a Catholic parish and a Protestant parish.

Oberlind has a Protestant parish.

The church I'm looking for is Protestant. I believe it is St. Aegidien in Oberlind.

Thanks for your reply.
