More Generations in Wronke: Nohwald/Schaulz in 1797 (May 2018) Tuesday, May 8, 2018

Before arriving at SLC/Family History Library: 
I had learned that Johann Gottlieb Norwald and Anna Rosina Schmidt were the parents of Wilhelmine Norwald. I wanted to see if I could find the birth record for Johann Gottlieb Norwald -- assuming he was from Wronke.

Upon arrival: 
Since I didn't know Johann Gottlieb's birth day -- I assumed he was born in the 1790s. (He is listed as being 25 years old in 1824) on his marriage certificate. I checked for the Wronke films in the LDS holdings - the first I viewed (on-line) was 8025857 (1778-1794). He was not listed.

Then Maria/Polish researcher showed me how to use BaSIA. (WAS: losttoolbox.pl; IS: http://www.basia.famula.pl/en/)
There was an index for the births - and a person as listed as "Gottlieb Nowald, born 1797".

I was able to find the record. (this should also be on film 8025858, Wronke baptisms for 1795 to 18xx). (update: looks like it was on film 8025857, part 2)

From the record, I learned that Johann Gottlieb's parents are Christoph Nohwald (an inn keeper of some sort) and Anna Maria Schaulz(in).  Johann Gottlieb was born on 23 May 1797 and baptized on 25 May 1797.
