If anyone suspects thay have ancestors from Löllbach, Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, I have entered many of the families from "Quellen zur Geschichte der Stadt und Verbandsgemeinde Meisenheim am Glan: Die Familien zu Löllbach im 19 Jahrhundert. (Sources for the History of the City and Meisenheim Glan: The Families of Löllbach of the 19th Century)

Names include Reidenbach, Litzenberger, Maurer, Altes, Kreuscher, Rassweiler (Raßweiler) Fritz, Hermann, Paulus, Rohr, Fries, Schaadt and more. Email me and I will give you the visitors' password or tell you what names are in the book.

SOunds interesting - do you have any Pepplers or Bepplers?

BTW - if you leave your homepage with the list of names publically accessible, you can just put a link on the message boards but people will still have to ask permission to view farther.

I have found that when people follow a link to ones site and are only confronted with a signin page they usually don't bother. Having a cover page that at minimum gives the list of surnames raises interest.

June:

I found your message about Lollbach information via a Google search. I found out that I had to join tribalpages in order to be able to reply to your message.

I am very interested in what information you may have from this book for two of the names you listed -- Herrmann and Altes. Specifically, I am interested in info on Johannes Herrmann, born 1800 and/or his son also named Johannes born in 1830. The elder Johannes married Catherine Altes, so I am also interested in any information on the her and her family.

You can reply to me here or to my genealogy email address of george@porterfieldjunction.net.

I noticed you live in Kenosha. It has been a long time since I visited there. My mother (Laura Clara Herrmann) was born there in 1913 and grew up there.

Thanks,

George Porterfield

Hello June:

It has been awhile since we communicated about Löllbach ancestors. I recently found some LDS microfilm rolls on ancestry.com that include mostly 18th century church records from Löllbach and some nearby communities. I have been trying to piece together more information on my mother's ancestors from those images, but repeated given names make if difficult without a second source. For example, each of my 2*great thru 6*great grandfathers were all named Johann Phillipp Herrmann.

I was wondering how you got access to the book "Die Familien zu Löllbach im 19. Jahrhundert" to enter so much data on your web site. Do you still have access to this book? Is there some way for me to get access to it online? I have not been able to find an online source.

Also, I have learned that the same author produced a book called "Die Kasualien der lutherischen Pfarrei Löllbach/Schweinschied 1670-1798". Have you heard of this book and/or know of a source for it? It more closely matches the time period for the records I currently have access to, so it could be very helpful.

I am continuing to update my genealogy web site with the data from the church records I am currently reviewing, although there are some where I cannot be sure I have the connection to the right parents due to duplicate names.

Thanks for any info you can provide,

George Porterfield

Hi George,

Originally, I had some research done in Bavaria by a researcher, Margarete Handl. She told me about this book when I posted on Ancestry message boards that I was looking for ancestors from Löllbach. I asked her if she could find me a copy and she kindly did send one to me.

I wasn't quite sure what to do with the information in the book until my cousin, David, took a trip to Löllbach and meet with Gunter Anthes, the author. (David's wife is German born.) David brought back some additional from Anthes and everything fell into place.

I have sorted out relationships of most the families in the book, but there are a few I haven't connected yet with the Reidenbachs. Names with no connection, that I could find, are Spielmann, Herz, and Wolf, but most everyone in Löllbach at that time were related to each other.

I too would be very interested in families from Schweinschied.

And, yes, unless you have birthdays, everyone one is named Jacob, Peter, Johannes, Philipp, Adam, or Karl.

I do have copies of this book. Send me your address and I will mail you a copy.

Thank you very much for your response and for the offer to send me a copy of the pages that you have. My snail mail address is:

Or if you can scan the pages to a PDF, you can attach it to an email to me at glporterfield@gmail.com.

I recently found a FamilySearch microfilm of the "church book" from Löllbach covering from about 1690 to 1795 or so. It is LDS film #493327. On familysearch.com you have to have an LDS church member log-in to see the film. It is indexed, but there are some strange spelling variations in the index. The film is also available on ancestry.com if you have a World membership or better. It is part of their database for "Rhineland, Prussia, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1533-1950." Once you are there, you can do a search, or you can select the Löllbach film using the browse options and looking thru the 260-some images.

The same ancestry.com database also has films for neighboring villages such as Meddersheim and Kappeln where I have found some connections also.

I have put 20-plus images (with transcription and translation) from these films on my genealogy web site over the past few weeks. I hope I have all of the connections correct. Even with these records, it is difficult to keep the repeating names straight. That is why I asked you about the Gunter Anthes book.

If you want to look at my web site, the URL is http://porterfieldjunction.net. You will need to request a UserID (see bottom right, home page) to see the data.

Thanks again,

George
