Following Rappolds/Fabers Back Further into the 1600s (Almost) (May 2018) Friday, May 11, 2018

Started by searching the familysearch catalog for any material on Michelbach an der Luecke.
The film 575068 came up with marriages for 1646-1652, 1664-1742 for Michelbach an der Luecke.

The film was digitized and thus online. Michelbach is around film page 508.
I snapped pages for Faber and Rappolds ... still need to figure out where they fit in the tree.

There were also several Ziegler entries but I did not snap those pages because I did not recognize the people.

Film title is Evangelische Kirchenbuchauszuege, 1586-1811
Author is Max Cramer from 1969.

-----------------
There's another film entry Kirchenbuch, 1646-1913 for Evangelische Kirche Michelbach an der Luecke (OA Gerabronn). It is film number 1528594, 95 and 96. They have the locked camera symbol but there is also a magnifying glass that says "search the index".

When I click on this symbol, the index comes up in the family search window -- 6700 entries. The Michelbach entries start on screen 19, half way down.

There are some Kohlers on this film from the 1829-1888.
Limited search to "Michelbach" and reviewed 879 records. Nothing interesting

Many Zieglers, and a few Hessenauers show up in this film (1528594).

On film 1528592 there are taufen for 1728/Georg Michael (hard to read) and marriage for Georg Michael/1757.

Then there's a taufen for Johann Michael Rappold/1763.
We tried to find the death for Johann Michael/1785, 3 Nov, but it was not on those pages (so maybe it is mis-indexed)
