Messelhof
In the Catholic church records, Anna Nagel is listed as coming from Messelhof. She was born around 1712. Was it one family that lived in Messelhof (the Nagels) or would it have been a very small community? Thank you.
Here's a link to it in Meyers:

Hello @ccr1107,
The entry for Messelhof in Meyers refers you to the entry for Donzdorf: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10361079
So Messelhof is dependent on and described in the description for Donzdorf.
On the 15th line of the description for Donzdorf note the following:
Höfe Messelhof, T Treffelhausen, E Nenningen, 36.
Meyers uses many abbreviations. The above entry for Messelhof would translate as:
Farm Messelhof, the nearest telegraph office is in Treffelhausen, the nearest train station/train stopping place is in Nenningen, the population [of Messelhof] is 36.
Bear in mind that this edition of Meyers was published circa 1911-1912 and the population of 36 was for that time period.
It's hard to say what the population was 200 years earlier in 1712. I've seen online that Messelhof was described as a hamlet, so you could probably assume it was a very small community or farmstead in 1712.

Here's a map of Messelhof from 1827 - it doesn't have much detail, though.

Does Germany have any land records, where you could see who may have owned a property in the 1700s? Similar to the Czech cadastre maps?

This question would be better posted as a new question to the German community at large. I am not familiar with German land records.

@sylviaelchinger1 Thank you! It looks like there isn't much of an establishment in this town or area even in 1827. There's a good chance my family did live on this manor. Thank you!
