Tracking Hess Family Line
I am still struggling with locating family members on the Hess side.
I am trying to get any information I can on my grandfather, Ernst Hess, and his family. Ernst Hess was born April 1, 1920 in Pressnitz. His father was Franz Hess, born September 1986 in Pressnitz and his mother was Marie Steinhauer, born November 28, 1892 in Kadan. I am trying to see if Franz and Marie had any additional children. I am also curious if you have a marriage record which would include the names of Franz and Marie's parents. Franz and Marie were Catholic so I would assume that their parents were also Catholic. For the last few months, I have been stuck in my own research of my family tree and have reached out to the local churches but have been unsuccessful in getting any additional information.
I have done my research and looked through hundreds of pages in both https://www.online-ofb.de/famlist.php?ofb=christophhammer&b=H&lang=de&modus= and http://vademecum.soalitomerice.cz/vademecum/index4Clear.jsp but I have not been able to locate my grandfather and great grandparents. I have found records on Steinhauer’s but no Marie/Maria. Does anyone else have any idea where else I might be able to go to find information on the Hess/Steinhauer family? I am attaching a couple of documents that have led me to the Pressnitz/Kadan area. Thank you for your help!

Do you already have a copy of Ernst's 1920 birth certificate from Pressnitz/Prisecnice? If not, I would order that from the civil registry office of Prisecnice. That should give you more specific birthplaces for his parents if they were from elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback Mckenna!! I do not have a birth certificate of Ernst Hess. I recently found out who my biological grandfather was from a Historian in Beuern, Germany where my dad was born. She provided me with these documents. I was able to locate Ernst Hess's granddaughter, my cousin, and she doesn't have any information or documents either. Her mom passed away when she was 18. I will look into locating/requesting his birth certificate. Thanks again!
