Part 913bf – Brunhammer Fürst – 1818 GGGGG-Grandmother Anne Marie Bruhamer's Passing

Good Day,

Last night flipping through electronic pages of the digitized images of Baptism, Marriage, and Death registers I was able to find the Death Registration for GGGGG-(5-times)-Great-Grandmother Anne Marie (née Fürst) Bruhamer. She passed away at one of her son's home in Hochstatt, Haut-Rhin at 10:00 pm on the 25th of July 1818. The son who reported the passing was GGGG-(4-times)-Great-Grandfather Sébastien.

GGGGG-Great-Grandmother Anne Marie was 68 years old at the time of her death, as it was reported, and further, she was recorded as the widow of GGGGG-(5-times)-Great-Grandfather Conrad Bruhamer.

Here is the entry as recorded in French.

This is my attempt at transcribing the document. I am having a bit of a problem transcribing, reading, the actual name of the street of GGGG-Great-Grandfather Sébastien's home.

1818

Part 912b – Brunhammer Plus – An Updated Brunhammer Genealogy Ancestry Chart

Good Day,

PC’s back in working order. It appeared that one of the voltage spikes that occurred during the wait for the electricity to come back on after the storm may have fried a couple of circuit boards.

I've been asked by a number of you if they could see my ancestry charting of the family tree. At times it can be somewhat confusing when one has to move through a number of pages on the PC screen or follow a distinct family line back in time.

I have re-created an ancestry chart using GenoPro. I like using GenoPro because it allows me to move persons, aka ancestors and descendants, around quick freely. I find it not as restrictive as some other software programs that are available.

"GenoPro makes it easy to build simple family trees, but it also allows you to easily and quickly build complex family trees. Not all families are simple."

I have now created a Brunhammer chart using GenoPro. Even beginning with Andy's parents, Eugene John and Myrtle Frances Gertrude (née Doherty) Brunhammer, I still have to recreate the Brunhammer family, going back to Andy's 8-times Great-Grandparents, using two visible images. And this work-chart is by no strength of the imagination complete.

Here's the first page, to be continued on the second page.

Here's the second page -

The square boxes represent male ancestors and the circles, females. I have used a blue border with a yellow fill-in to represent Andy's bloodline. Andy's generation, as well as his nieces and nephews, and grand-nephews and grand-nieces are not included in either of the two images. I will not publically publish any information regarding any living relative.

Regarding his grand-nephews and grand-nieces, you can add 2 more levels of greats to a possibility of 10-Great-Grandparents.

Just my observations.

And now onto search for more pieces of evidence.

Part 911b – Brunhammer – 1746 Birth Registration GGGGG-Great Grandfather Conrad Brunhammer

Good Day,

As I’m listening to the weather updates, and having prepared as best as I can, I need to keep preoccupied.

I was able to find the Baptism Registration of GGGGG-Great Grandfather Conrad Brunhammer and his seven other siblings; Andy’s 5-times Great-Grandaunts and Uncles. The Baptism Registration were all found in the parish records of Saint Fridolin Catholic Church in Säckingen (also Bad Säckingen) Baden, Germany.

I believe that this is building that may have housed the Saint Fridolin Catholic Church.

This is the entry of GGGGG-Grandfather Conradus Brunhammer.

My attempt at transcribing –

1746

November

7. Conradus filius Conradi Brunhammer et Eli∫sbetha Loo∫erinbaptitatus fuit à R.B. Lorentz Capellano”Patrinis ad∫tantisset levantibus Joanne Schlinger et Mar: Ur∫ulâ _____

Just my observations.

Part 910bf – Bruhammer Fürst – 1776 Marriage Registration

Good Day,

In my search for the answer whether the two Marie Anne Schwimmers are related, at this time I have a feeling that they may not have been… But this can change if there is a distant past connection.

And the other issue that I have encountered is that the Church Marriage Registers for Hochstatt in Haut-Rhin between the years of about 1734 through 1753, mid-18th Century, do not appear to exist. This may or may not have been due to the constant turmoil resulting from the Reformation, the Thirty Years’ War, the French Revolution, and the constant conflicts regarding the lands and countries.

There is a positive note because of my search. I believe I have come across the Hochstatt Marriage Registration of GGGGG-Grandparents Conradus Bruhammer and Anna Maria Fürst. This is 6-times Great to Andy, and to some Brunhammer descendants 7-times Great and 8-times Great.

This is a clipping of the document –

And the attempted transcription of the Latin. Thanks to Johann K, Mark S, and Anna L M of Genealogy Translations group on Facebook and Wayne Q for their assistance.

Attempted translation –

Conrad Bruhamer of Sackingen is a legitimate son of the dead, of Conrad Bruhamer, and the living citizen in Sackingen and Elizabeth Looserin as well the mother, and of Anna Marie Fürst, the daughter, of the manner of the masses for the dead of the couple and of the citizens of this passage, Peter Fürst and Anna Maria Schoflerin Consider the observation there is only one announced by the same thereon two are from the most reverend Lord, the vicar general and the bishop, Lyddensi administered on day 8th of June in the presence of the required witnesses from MA franc, Mars Lysch pastor united 10th day of June in the year 1776 with witnesses that subscribed signed Spouse signed X to the spouse Anthony Schere, Alexander Philipp minister

Thus in his own handwriting testator Lyseh the pastor

All-things-being-equal, and from what I can garner from the Marriage Register, GGGGG Conrad Bruhamer was from Sackingen. His parents, GGGGGG-Grandfather Conrad and GGGGGG-Grandmother Elisabeth (née Looserin) Bruhamer had passed away at the time of his marriage.

He married GGGGG-Grandmother Anna Marie Fürst. Her parents were GGGGGG-Grandparents Peter and Anna Marie (née Schoflerin) Fürst. I am not sure but from the details of the Latin one of them may have also passed away prior to the marriage. I am a bit confused as to exactly where they were from.

The marriage does take place in Hochstatt, in Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France.  It appears that the marriage did take place on the 10 June 1776. There may be references to certain requirements which were completed prior to the actual wedding.

And of course, this now opens the opportunity to search for a Birth Registration for GGGGG-Grandfather Conrad Bruhamer in Säckingen.

According to Google Maps, Hochstatt is approximately 63.3 kilometers, walking about 13 ¼ hours, from Säckingen.

Just my observations.

And now onto another piece of evidence.
