Title: Looking for the wedding and death record of Erhard Ortwein
Post by: NicVog on Friday 28 October 22 18:28 BST (UK)

Hi there. Sorry, I am just looking for two records regarding a man named Erhard Ortwein who lived from 1627 to 1682 in Wurttemberg. An online tree I have found describes him as mayor and court relative in Kirchberg, and Stiftspfleger/church custodian in Backnang, a nearby town. I'd like to confirm that, and from what I've seen in Wurttemberg church records they tend to add a bit of biographical information about the person, and I wondered if anyone would be able to tell me what's on his May 28, 1650 marriage record to Barbarba Schmalzrieder, or his death on March 13, 1682, both in the village of Kirchberg an der Murr.

I really appreciate it.

Oh, hey! Thank you TS, I had no idea FamilySearch had documents besides UK and US records.

Oh, a small note. I see that it says in death place: Kirchberg, Kirchberg an der Iller, Biberach

Whereas death place (original): Kirchberg, Marbach u. Oa

I can see Kirchberg an der Iller and Kirchberg an der Murr are too different places, but I guess Kirchberg, Marbach, is the same as Kirchberg an der Murr?

I have noticed that transcibed locations in FS can sometimes be linked to the wrong version. It can be useful to go to the catalog page for that specific film.  In this case: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/18223?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Same name - same village - has to be a relation somewhere along the line
