I'm having trouble finding birth records 1830s
I found information on my 4th Great Grandparents and where they were married in Großherzogtum Hessen, Regierungsbezirk Dieburg in 1851 but I am having trouble locating their parents on either side as I cannot find birth records for either (no mention in the marriage record). Some of the data on my 4thGG is conflicting as he states his birth month as May but the year changes from 1826, 1830,1832, 1839 and 1831. My 4thGG is a bit easier to pinpoint as she states either 1831 or 1832. Anyone have ideas on where to start?

Hi, Thea:
It is too bad that records are not consistent with birth time; right? Here is my usual routine.
- Since we are posting in FamilySearch, we have done the usual search for records in FamilySearch
- Have we done the cross-search in Ancestry? Sometimes they have more records
- Have you looked at the Public Member Trees in Ancestry? If you do not have an Ancestry account, you can go to a FamilySearch Center and use their portal for free.
- FamilySearch has the Wiki, which has loads of documents. Here is the link to that page https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Germany_Genealogy. You can call FamilySearch support for help with this. 866-406-1830 for phone help or make an appointment by clicking on the question mark at the top, then "Contact Us", select your region, scroll down to select language, and then make the appointment.
To find member trees in Ancestry, here are the steps:
- Click on "Search" at the top of the screen
- Click on "Public Member Trees"
- Fill in the information of the person you want to find
To find a FamilySearch Center near you (formerly Family History Center) following these steps:
- Click on the "Map" icon on the right-hand side of the FamilySearch screen (generally the one on the left-hand side)
- Click "Discover a Local Center" and a map will show with the Centers all over the world. Click on the one near you.
Good luck in your search. It would be great to hear from you about your journey PaulaAnn

@PABulfinch I've narrowed down my search radius to Catholic and Protestant parishes near Dieburg. I found that Conrad Seibert may have been born in Lower Franconia between 1826-1831.
