GERMANY: Familienbucher Oberrosbach v.d. Höhe & Grüningen look up offer

[wjhchez65]

Hello JenClark:
I realize this thread is quite old, but ..
I wonder if you could check your family history church books for surnames
Göbel and Goebel from Oberroßach.  Specifically I am looking for any and all
information about a Johannes P. Goebel (1778-1819).  I believe Johannes
was married to Maria Catharina Elisabetha Flick(1783-1859).  I am looking
for details about there children, specifically if they had a son Daniel(1806-1872), who in
turn also had a son named Ludwig(1840-1908).  I have actually been in contact
with Cathy Mellor who I saw mentioned in this thread.  Cathy's research of
the Goebel name stopped with Johannes P. as mentioned above.  I am hoping to
find details of his ancestors.  Thank you!

HI
do you have an Ancestry subscription?
there´s a Goebel Family tree on there going back to 1690
The names coincide with yours

Hi Wjhchez65,

I am sorry, but I don't think my Familienbuch will be any help. I believe your family may be from Ober-Roßbach, Oberwesterwaldkreis (Hessen-Nassau), and my book covers a different town with the same name in Hessen-Darmstadt. If you look at the part of the thread where Cathy Mellor is mentioned, we came to this conclusion.

There is only one Göbel family in my Familienbuch which is:

Johann Heinrich Göbel & Anna Elisabetha Will who were married on 9 Jan 1731. They were not from the town though and no children were born there.

I wish you luck chasing down your rellies...perhaps the family tree that Dave mentioned on Ancestry might help?

Yes, Dave the large tree of Goebels on Ancestry is that created by Cathy Mellor and I have studied it and been in contact with Cathy.  Cathy just stopped her research in my tree around 1800, and I needed to continue it forward.

Jenny I think your book is not what I needed, but what I needed specifically I managed to find on archion.de under "Hessen-Nassau: Zentralarchiv der Evang. Kirche > Dekanat Marienberg > Emmerichenhain".  For about $25.00 and about 20 minutes I managed to locate the baptism records for 4 generations of my grandfathers.   I highly recommend this archion.de web site, though it helps to be able to read old script, or to know someone that can... and it definitely helps to know full dates of birth for your relies.. otherwise you will be paging through old script for days! 

Thanks for responding to my inquiry.  Best of luck with your research!

The tree i meant is
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/77022670/person/30568043226/facts

i don´t think it is from Cathy Mellor
as i said it goes back to 1690

[wjhchez65]

Hey Dave.. it turns out you are referring to my tree!   Much of what I have there is from Cathy Mellor's research.  Thank you for attempting to help I appreciate it!  Best of luck with your research.

Hey Bill,

Glad to hear you have had some luck on Archion - it is a brilliant site and has helped me a great deal with some branches of my tree. They are uploading records for more and more towns all the time, so it is always good to check back and see if areas you are interested in have been added.

And for the record....I loved scrolling through pages of old German script for days on end

Hi Dave,
Thank you for that link.  It appears the link is from Ancestry.com in the UK, and does appear to be a match for the Anna Catherina Goebel (Theiss) in my tree.  I find it odd that I see various hints from Ancestry via the U.S. web site for this same person, however nothing referred me to the link you sent.  In any case I appreciate you sending the link.

Thanks again,
Bill
