Guten tag,
I hope I can be understood in English, I only know very little German.
I was wondering if anyone in Feuchtwangen could help with tracing my ancestral past...
Part of my family comes from Heilbronn in the nearby town.
There was a Johann Leonhard Engel born there in 1849 (who moved to America in the 1880s and died near Frankenmuth, Michigan), and I supposedly have his Father's name as Johann Georg Engel and mother's name of Anna Barbara Kohn, but I know nothing else. I was wondering if anyone could check the Lutheran Church records in the town for me and figure out who Johann Georg Engel was, and if anyone could get me his birthdate and death date, and the same for Anna. Also if you could find his parents names, and however many generations there are before that.
Also, I'm not sure if there is a Lutheran church in Heilbronn or not. I'm not sure where they would have been at in the 1800s.
Sorry for not knowing German. I know a little bit, but not enough to type a forum message.
