    Hi Roderick,
    I'm glad to hear good news about your wife doing well and I have news for you:

    Look in the old mail and find Johann Georg Schwald
    He was born in 1715 in Gersbach and married Maria Lentz from Schwand in 1737. They lived in Wies-Fischenberg (You've been there the day we met first) and had eight children:
    Magdalena * 1738 Schwand
    Anna * 1741 Schwand + 1752
    Maria * 1742 Fischenberg + 1742
    Johann Georg *1743 Fischenberg (your line)
    Johann Jacob * 1745 Fischenberg
    Maria * 1746 Fischenberg
    Margaretha * 1749 Fischenberg
    Johann Friedrich * 1751 Fischenberg (my line)

    The parents of Johann Georg Schwald were:
    Michael Schwald, * 1685 Neuenweg, + 1745 Gersbach
    married in 1711 in Gersbach
    Anna Kneusslin, * 1682 Gersbach, + 1759 Gersbach, daughter of Hans Kneusslin and Anna Meyer in Gersbach

    The parents of Michael Schwald were:
    Bernhard Schwald, * 1655 Neuenweg, + ?
    married 1677 in Neuenweg
    Catharina Bleickner, *1656 in Neuenweg, daughter of Jacob Bleickner and Verena Zeh from Neuenweg

    The parents of Bernhard Schwald were:
    Jacob Schwald, *1614 in Neuenweg, + 1686 in Neuenweg
    married 1643 in Neuenweg
    Maria Kiefer, *1613 in Neuenweg, + 1677 in Neuenweg
    They had twelve children!

    I think Werner Schwalds line goes from one of this children. May be all Schwald lines go from this Jacob Schwald. There are no church books before 1600, so we can't go on now! I think it's ok here. Not everybody has a Stammbaum to 1613 but we have!

    Another interesting thing is, how Michael Schwald came to Gersbach wich is about two days-walks from Neuenweg. Gersbach is like Neuenweg in The high black-forrest. I think that he had to go there as a boy in the summertime to keep care for the cows of other farmers. Poor people with many children used to give some children away in summer to other farmers. So they didn't have to feed them this time. Often those "cowboys" went all summer to the same farm and often married in the village or even in the family of the farmer.
    Michaels son Johann Georg went back to the area his father was born. May be he found his wife when he joined a wedding of a cousin or an other festival.

    Now you can complete your Stammbaum with 12 generations! Wish you a good work! Christof

    per email:
    Johann Georg Schwald of Grenzach married Maria Lenzin of Schwand in Wies on September 17, 1738. The father of Johann Georg was Michel Schwaldin of Grenzach (shown as Greszach) and an unnamed mother. The father of Maria was Michel Lenzin and an unnamed mother. The children of Johann Georg and Maria were:

    1. Maria, born in Fischenberg on September 20, 1742. (The father was shown as Hans Jerg.)
    2. Johann Georg, born in Fischenberg on September 10, 1743. (The father is shown as Hans Jerg.)
    3. Johann Jacob, born in Fischenberg on January 11, 1744. (The father was shown as Johann Georg.)
    4. Maria, born in Fischenberg on August 6, 1746. (The father was shown as Johann Georg.)
    5. Margaretha, born in Fischenberg on February 20, 1748. (The father was shown as Johann Georg.)
    6. Friedrich, born in Fischenberg on May, 24, 1750. (The father was shown as Hans Georg.)

    All data are from roll #1189732.

    I suspect that other children were born between 1738 and 1742 in, perhaps, Grenzach or Schwand. It was highly unusual for a couple to wait four years before having their first child, and it was even not at all uncommon for the bride to be pregnant at the time of the marriage.

    What micro-film rolls have you ordered?

    I have some reservations about Grenzach. It is spelled in an unusual way on the marriage record and it is a long way from Fischenberg and Schwand. Althoug there is no other name spelled even close to it, further research needs to verify it.

    Your supposition was correct. The father of the Johann Georg who married Maria Lenzin in 1738 was from Gersbach, not Grenzach. It was spelled with "p" rather than "b" which looked very much like a "z". It is the influence of the German-Swiss on the South Black Forest dialect. It is not uncommon for bach to be spelled as pach in Switzerland, but quite uncommon in the South Black Forest, and even less common in the rest of Germany. My great -grandmother, Anna Maria Minger, was born in Limpach, Switerzerland. In some ways the South Black Forest is more Swiss than German, with Basel being the dominant city. When people from the South Black Forest travel to other parts of Germany they are often thought to be from Switzerland because of their dialect.

    Michel Schwald married Anna (a name that looks something like Kuensslerin) of Gersbach on December 8, 1711, in Gersbach. The father of Michel was Bernhard (?) Schwald of, what appears to be, Kuernberg. The father of Anna was Hans (?) of Gersbach.

    Michel's and Anna's children were:

    1. Katharina, born in Gersbach in September, 1712.
    2. Johann Bernhard (?), born in Gersbach on August 31, 1713.
    3. Hanss Jerg, born in Gersbach on April 24, 1715.
    4. Martin, born in Gersbach August 3, 1716.
    5. Anna, born in Gersbach on January 23, 1719.
    6. Andreas, born in Gersbach on July 17, 1720.
    7. Catharina, born in Gersbach. ( I failed to get the date of birth but I believe it was in 1723.)
    8. Johann Jacob, born in Gersbach January 17, 1726.

    Michael Schwald was born in Neuenweg on July 25,1685, to Bernhard Schwald and Katharina Blaitnerin.

    Notes: I believe that you should update your website to incorporate this additional information The name Blaitnerin was spelled every which way--Bleutnerin, Blautnerin, etc., but it was almost surely not Bleickner. I suggest that you use the Blaitnerin spelling, the name shown quite clearly on Michael's birth record 1685.
    The name Knuesslerin is an usual name and is quite difficult to read. However, on the birth record of Katharina in 1712 it is clearly spelled Knuesslerin.
