Wächtershäuser aus Obereschbach

[PJGordon]

I am seeking help with finding information on my ancestors who lived in Ober-Eschbach, pre 1740.
My ancestor is Christian Wächtershäuser, who was from the principality of Hanau, and emmigrated to Switzerland and married 1761 in the parish of Apples, a Barbara Spring. I am trying to find birth information on him, his siblings, and hopefully parents. I would like to know what my ancestors did in Germany, but I know that kind of history might be impossible to find in 1700. In Switzerland Christian is a shoemaker.

Thank you so looking at my post, and thank you again if you can help me.

Patti,

not sure, but maybe he is the right one: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VHMM-21C

You don't know, how old he was when he married?

Marriage record in Switzerland doesn't give a birth dates, but only where he was from. Thank you for your post.

And you have also no death record, where his age is given?

[PJGordon]

No, I haven't found that yet. Just a marriage, and baptism records for his children.

Can someone help me obtain a record of Christian Wachtershauser birth record dated 09 Feb 1733 for the LDS? I can not read germany, so do not know if I have located the right record or not. Family History Center has these records, but you have too know germany to be able to identify if its your people. Also the marriage record of Johann Nicolaus Waechershaeusser (sic) who married Anna Magdalena Wolff on 21 Nov 1729, and his birth, plus his fathers, Johann Conrad Waechtersaeusser (sic) records, but I have not found the dates on them yet. All from Ober Eschbach.

Hello Patti,
there is a book existing about one-place-study (OPS) in Ober-Eschbach (a part from the city of Bad Homburg).
The only Christian Waechtershaeuser (origin Wächtershäuser) pre 1740 is the one you have already found.
I would like to send you a copy of this page (there are information about Christian and his sisters and brothers, his father Johann Nicolaus W. and his father Johann Conrad W. and his father Johannes W.!)
Please let me know your e-mail address.

Thanks in advance
regards
Rimi
