FEUERSTEIN AND NONNENMACHER
CHURCH RECORD DOWNLOADS AND LISTING
The following GEDCOM is a family tree of Berg and Thal Feuersteins beginning with the first Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein and his six known children, and continuing on for three more generations. It comes directly from the registers of the Kirchberg, the old church situated above the village of Berg. (Note: Additional information exists for most of these people, but the scope of this work was to accurately trace them in the Berg Chuch registers [1712-1794], and very little other information was included.) The accuracy of this research has been validated, revalidated, and compared* to the research of others to ensure the highest degree of reliability:

BERG CHURCH RECORDS ABSTRACT
OF FEUERSTEINS AND NONNENMACHERS
An abstract/index of the Berg Church records for Feuersteins and Nonnenmachers is linked below. There are about 800 different records comprised of marriages, baptisms, and burials, and they can be downloaded and viewed as one file. If you decide to publish any of this information on-line, please reference it as the work of Firestone1753.
It might be intimidating to learn that this file is in Excel format, but not to panic. The abstract can be searched and browsed just the same as Microsoft Word. If you know someone with Excel experience, they can show you how to "mine" the information in some amazing ways. Or you can just read through the files one record after another; they are in chronological order. Once you get used to the format, you're home free. The marriage records are the easiest place to start.
Most of the occupations have not been translated but there are genealogical dictionaries on-line to help you with that. If you get lost, just leave a message in the guestbook for assistance. Enjoy!

Five Generations of Feuersteins in Berg and Thal
Plain text uploaded by Firestone1753 on 26 May 2021.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Dorothea (Maria Dorothea) Feuerstein
Gender: Female (deceased)

Birth date: 17 Feb 1747
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nicholas-firestone.html
Birth place: Thal, Alsace, France
Death place: America
Bio notes: Maria Dorothea's baptism is recorded in the Berg Church records in "Anno MDCCXLVII", 1747. It begins "Maria Dorothea. ...... born 17 Febr...". Before this, some genealogies have been uncertain about her birth year because they were trying to squeeze children into this family that didn't belong in it.
Most people in Berg and Thal went by their middle name. By all appearances, Dorothea did also.
Others have researched Dorothea's life in America. I have only researched her records in the Kirchberg, the Berg Church.

Surname at birth: Unknown

Bio notes: Mother of at least 3 (but probably 5 or all 6) of Hans' children. She appears in registers of the Berg, Lorentzen, and Drulingen Churches, but somewhat rarely.. She appears at a baptism one time in the Berg Church registers as the widow of Hans Feyerstein.
Her first appearance is in the Lorentzen records where she also witnessed a baptism. The Drulingen registers also show her, at three baptisms. She was likely born in the early 1670s. It seems likely that she grew up in Thal. Some genealogies give her a maiden name, but that is the result of mixing her up with a daughter-in-law.

Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: Alsace, France presumably
Death place: Thal, Alsace, France
Bio notes: Hans is sometimes called Johannes or Johannis in the Berg Church records. Hans is presumably his nickname.
Most Feuerstein males in Berg between 1712 and 1760 had some form of Johann as their first name. Those named Johann had middle names, but those named Johannes do not. In Berg, most people went by their middle name if they had one.
Johannes was most likely born about 1670. He died quite young, by early 1712. There is uncertainty about his specific birthplace, but there is every reason to believe that he was born in Alsace, and no primary source evidence to contradict that deduction. His son, Nicholas Firestone, was born about the time of his death.
There is no record of Johannes' parents, but the naming conventions in this area suggest that he might have had Johanneses among his ancestors.
ed.: On May 8, 1712, his son witnessed a baptism in Lorentzen and Johannes is recorded as "weiland," deceased. He had died sometime within the previous 12 months. Without concrete evidence, his son Nicholas is usually said to have been born in 1712. Quite likely.

Full name: Johannes (Hans, Johannis) Feuerstein
Surname at birth: Feuerstein Or Feyerstein
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Catharina Feuerstein
Father: Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein
Wife: ed.: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Feuerstein (married 23 Sep 1721 in Dehlingen where her family lived.)
Wife: Christina (Anna Christina) Feuerstein (married 9 Feb 1719 in Berg, Alsace, France)
Birth date: Jul 1696
Death date: 29 Dec 1759
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: Alsace, France presumably. Possibly Thal.
Death place: Thal or Berg
Burial place: Berg Kirchhof (Berg Churchyard)
Burial date: 31 Dec 1759
Bio notes: ed.: Johannes (Hans) seems to be his father's second child. Although his baptismal record does not survive, we know from his burial record that he was born in July of 1696. Several records establish the identity of his father. Hans was married first to Christina Muller who died just one year later. His second marriage, to Margaretha (Anna Margaretha), appears in the Dehlingen Church.
ed.: Hans died on December 29, 1759 and was buried two days later. The record states that he was 63 years and somewhat over 5 months old and that he was the herrschaftlichen meyer (honorable mayor) of Berg and Thal parish. --Hans was witness to some of the baptisms of his sister's and brothers' children. Because of Hans (and Theobold), we know that his father Johannes (Hans) is quite a bit older than most American genealogies have assumed.

Bio notes: ed.: At least four different months have been given for Nicholas' and Catharina's marriage. The one given here is from the Berg Church marriage records.
ed.: Catharina's birth (2Aug) and baptism (6 Aug 1711) took place in Berg but were recorded in the Drulingen Church. Other important family records are also recorded there.
ed.: Catharina had a sister and four brothers, all clearly documented in the registers of the Berg and Drulingen churches. These people are all documented on:
http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Brothers and sister of Catharina:
Johann Martin -born 1704
Anna Christina -born 1706
Hans Conrad -born 1709
Johann Joseph -born 1714
Johann Theobald -born 1718
ed.: There may have been additional children who died young, before the time of the Berg Church records. Conrad's birth is recorded in the Drulingen Church. It seems likely that he died young. One secondary source says that Conrad died in 1709, but that is likely an assumption.

Full name: Thiebold Feuerstein
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Catharina Feuerstein
Father: Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein
Wife: Elisabetha (Anna Elisabetha) Feuerstein
Birth date: 1690~1694
Death date: Dec 1753
Birth place: Thal, probably
Death place: Thal
Bio notes: ed.: Thiebold is outside the scope of this family tree because he doesn't appear in the registers of the Berg Church. However, he was added because the evidence is convincing that he is "family." In the 1742 census he is described as prosperous and Catholic. He probably converted at the time of his marriage, so he doesn't appear in the Berg Lutheran records. He and his Feuerstein descendants appear in Catholic and civil records in the vicinity of Thal, where his descendants were living at least (ed.: at) until the late 1800s. (ed.: The 1742 census also describes him as a 48 year old carpenter with five children. The names Anna Elisabetha, Johannes, Agnes, Mathias, and Johann Georg (d. 27 August 1811, aged 62) have been proposed as his children.)
(ed.: He was listed as an heir along with the children of Hans Feuerstein, carpenter of Thal, in the estate documents of Lorentz Feuerstein, the logical conclusion being that he was a son of Hans. )
ed.: Church records about Thiebold are in Latin (and French?)

Full name: Catharina (Anna Catharina) Firestone
Surname at birth: Nonnenmacher
Gender: Female (deceased)
Mother: Catharina Nonnenmacher
Father: Marcel Or Martzell Nonnenmacher
Husband: Nickel (Hans Nickel, Johann Niclaus, Nicholas) Feuerstein (married 13 Jun 1733 in Berg, Alsace, France)
Birth date: 2 Aug 1711
Death date: Approx 1767
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Birth place: Berg, Alsace, France
Death place: America
Bio notes: At least three different months have been given for Nicholas' and Catharina's marriage. The one given here is from the Berg Church marriage records.
Catharina's birth (2Aug) and baptism (6 Aug 1711) took place in Berg but were recorded in the Drulingen Church. Other important family records are recorded there.
ed.: (Catharina had a sister and four brothers, all clearly documented in Church registers. These people are all documented on:
http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html)
Brothers and sister of Catharina:
Johann Martin -born 1704
Anna Christina -born 1706
Hans Conrad -born 1709
Johann Joseph -born 1714
Johann Theobald -born 1718
ed.: There might have been additional children who died young, before the time of the Berg Church records. Conrad's birth is recorded in the Drulingen Church. It seems likely that he died young. One secondary source says that Conrad died in 1709, but that's likely an assumption.

Full name: Michael Firestone
Surname at birth: ed.: Probably Feuerstein, Possibly Firestone
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Catharina (Anna Catharina) Firestone
Father: Nickel (Hans Nickel, Johann Niclaus, Nicholas) Feuerstein
Birth date: Approx 1757
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nicholas-firestone.html
Birth place: Pennsylvania
Interests: Is there any record of Michael as an adult?
Bio notes: ed.: According to Jason W Firestone in 1904, Michael was born in Thal, but that was not possible. There is no baptismal record of him there, and he was only 10 or 11 at the time of his father's death in America. His brother, the second Nicholas, requested a guardian for Michael, aged 11, on June 1, 1768. Source: Shirer Family website. Michael must have been born in 1757 or 1758, four years after the family arrived in America.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Giess
Surname at birth: Feuerstein Or Feyerstein
Gender: Female (deceased)
Mother: Catharina Feuerstein
Father: Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein
Husband: Michael (Johann Michael) Giess (married 17 Nov 1716 in Eyweiler, recorded at the Berg Church)
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: unknown, likely Thal, Alsace, France
Bio notes: (Anna Margareta) Margaretha's birth year is uncertain. Presumably she was born about 1698. She is a witness at several Berg baptisms including five where she is identified as the daughter of Hans Feuerstein, already deceased. She was married on November 17, 1716 to Michael Giess and her father is named as Johannes Feuerstein, deceased. (ed.: A sister of Michael, Anna Catharina, was married the same day.) --Margareta, Michael, and their children were frequently witnesses at the baptisms of her brothers' children.
Margaretha and Michael lived in Eyweiler, which has a few church records of its own.
Margaretha appears frequently as a witness at baptims, including some of the children of her brother Andreas. Her husband and children also appear frequently as witnesses at Feuerstein baptisms.
There does not appear to be a burial record for Margaretha in Berg or in Eyweiler. The record of her confirmation appears in the Drulingen registers in 1710.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Michael (Johann Michael) Giess

Wife: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Giess (married 17 Nov 1716 in Eyweiler, recorded at the Berg Church)
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Bio notes: (Johann, Hans Michael) Michael was the schoolmaster in Eyweiler near Berg for most of his adult life. Michael had sons, brothers, and nephews so it may be that some American Giess families are related to him.
Michael is a witness at the baptism of two of brother-in-law Hans Feuerstein's children and at of one of Andreas Feuerstein's children. Michael's family is well documented in the Berg and Thal records.
His sister (Anna) Margaretha's confirmation record appears in Bockenheim (Bouguenom) in 1703.

Bio notes: The Berg Church records show Rosina's birth in "Anno MDCCXLII:, that is 1742. (ed.: Rosina had several first cousins also named Rosina with no middle name.)
Others have researched her life in America. I have only researched her records in Alsace.

Full name: Catharina Nonnenmacher
Surname at birth: Unknown

Husband: Marcel Or Martzell Nonnenmacher
Birth date: 1682
Death date: 26 Oct 1747
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Death place: Berg
Burial date: 28 Oct 1747
Bio notes: Catharina's burial record gives her age, 65 and a half years.
The Church registers of Drulingen sometimes refer to her as Anna Catharina, but in the Berg registers it's always Catharina. Naming conventions in the area support the name Anna Catharina since the first name of her daughters was Anna.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Marcel Or Martzell Nonnenmacher
Surname at birth: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Father: Uncertain Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Wife: Catharina Nonnenmacher
Birth date: 1674
Death date: 2 Dec 1753
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Death place: Berg, Alsace, France
Profession: clerk and innkeeper usually
Interests: There is a memorial plaque to the war dead in front of the church in Berg. A couple of the names appear to be "Nonnenmacher".
Bio notes: Marcel's death and burial are documented in the Berg Church records. This record is very clearly located with the 1753 burials, but some researchers have misread the year. The record gives his age, 79 years.
There does not appear to be any mention of Marcel Nonnenmacher's father, certainly not in the Berg Church records. But the Berg Church records do mention a Martzel Nonnenmacher of Rexingen, (ed.: the late) stepfather of a 1715 bride in the marriage records. Martzel is one of the spellings of Marcel. --Rexingen is right beside Berg. Rexingen and Martzel are sometimes mentioned in the records of the Lorentzen Church. Martzel is a good candidate for father of Marcel, but good genealogical standards do not permit assumptions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Uncertain Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Surname at birth: Nonnenmacher
Gender: Male (deceased)
Partner: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Death place: Rexingen?
Bio notes: A likely candidate for father of Marcel is Marcell/Martzell Nonnenmacher of Rexingen. By all appearances, he was married in Weyer in 1666. Later that year a son named Hans Nickel was born in Weyer to the couple. In 1680 Hans Nickel, son of Marcell Nonnenmacher of Rexingen witnessed a baptism in Waldhambach. In 1715, the marriage of a stepdaughter of Marcell was recorded in Berg. The first Hans Feuerstein witnessed the December 1702 baptism of a son of Martzlov Nunnenmacher and his second wife, Anna Barbara. Assuming that he is the same Marcell, he would have been about 60. (ed.; Some think that Marzlov was the Marcel soon to be living at Berg with wife, (Anna) Catharina.)
Burial records for these Nonnenmachers do not appear in the Berg Church registers.

Birth date: 17 Feb 1747
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nicholas-firestone.html
Birth place: Thal, Alsace, France
Death place: America
Bio notes: Maria Dorothea's baptism is recorded in the Berg Church records in "Anno MDCCXLVII", 1747. It begins "Maria Dorothea. ...... born 17 Febr...". Before this, some genealogies have been uncertain about her birth year because they were trying to squeeze children into this family that didn't belong in it.
Most people in Berg and Thal went by their middle name. By all appearances, Dorothea did also.
Others have researched Dorothea's life in America. I have only researched her records in the Kirchberg, the Berg Church.

Bio notes: Mother of at least 3 (but probably 5 or all 6) of Hans' children. She appears in registers of the Berg, Lorentzen, and Drulingen Churches, but somewhat rarely.. She appears at a baptism one time in the Berg Church registers as the widow of Hans Feyerstein.
Her first appearance is in the Lorentzen records where she also witnessed a baptism. The Drulingen registers also show her, at three baptisms. She was likely born in the early 1670s. It seems likely that she grew up in Thal. Some genealogies give her a maiden name, but that is the result of mixing her up with a daughter-in-law.

Full name: Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein
Surname at birth: Feuerstein Or Feyerstein
Gender: Male (deceased)
Wife: Catharina Feuerstein (married in unknown)
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: Alsace, France presumably
Death place: Thal, Alsace, France
Bio notes: Hans is sometimes called Johannes or Johannis in the Berg Church records. Hans is presumably his nickname.
Most Feuerstein males in Berg between 1712 and 1760 had some form of Johann as their first name. Those named Johann had middle names, but those named Johannes do not. In Berg, most people went by their middle name if they had one.
Johannes was most likely born about 1670. He died quite young, by early 1712. There is uncertainty about his specific birthplace, but there is every reason to believe that he was born in Alsace, and no primary source evidence to contradict that deduction. His son, Nicholas Firestone, was born about the time of his death.
There is no record of Johannes' parents, but the naming conventions in this area suggest that he might have had Johanneses among his ancestors.
ed.: On May 8, 1712, his son witnessed a baptism in Lorentzen and Johannes is recorded as "weiland," deceased. He had died sometime within the previous 12 months. Without concrete evidence, his son Nicholas is usually said to have been born in 1712. Quite likely.

Gender: Male (deceased)

Wife: ed.: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Feuerstein (married 23 Sep 1721 in Dehlingen where her family lived.)
Wife: Christina (Anna Christina) Feuerstein (married 9 Feb 1719 in Berg, Alsace, France)
Birth date: Jul 1696
Death date: 29 Dec 1759
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: Alsace, France presumably. Possibly Thal.
Death place: Thal or Berg
Burial place: Berg Kirchhof (Berg Churchyard)
Burial date: 31 Dec 1759
Bio notes: ed.: Johannes (Hans) seems to be his father's second child. Although his baptismal record does not survive, we know from his burial record that he was born in July of 1696. Several records establish the identity of his father. Hans was married first to Christina Muller who died just one year later. His second marriage, to Margaretha (Anna Margaretha), appears in the Dehlingen Church.
ed.: Hans died on December 29, 1759 and was buried two days later. The record states that he was 63 years and somewhat over 5 months old and that he was the herrschaftlichen meyer (honorable mayor) of Berg and Thal parish. --Hans was witness to some of the baptisms of his sister's and brothers' children. Because of Hans (and Theobold), we know that his father Johannes (Hans) is quite a bit older than most American genealogies have assumed.

Death place: America
Bio notes: ed.: At least four different months have been given for Nicholas' and Catharina's marriage. The one given here is from the Berg Church marriage records.
ed.: Catharina's birth (2Aug) and baptism (6 Aug 1711) took place in Berg but were recorded in the Drulingen Church. Other important family records are also recorded there.
ed.: Catharina had a sister and four brothers, all clearly documented in the registers of the Berg and Drulingen churches. These people are all documented on:
http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Brothers and sister of Catharina:
Johann Martin -born 1704
Anna Christina -born 1706
Hans Conrad -born 1709
Johann Joseph -born 1714
Johann Theobald -born 1718
ed.: There may have been additional children who died young, before the time of the Berg Church records. Conrad's birth is recorded in the Drulingen Church. It seems likely that he died young. One secondary source says that Conrad died in 1709, but that is likely an assumption.

Full name: Thiebold Feuerstein
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Catharina Feuerstein
Father: Johannes (Hans) Feuerstein
Wife: Elisabetha (Anna Elisabetha) Feuerstein
Birth date: 1690~1694
Death date: Dec 1753
Birth place: Thal, probably
Death place: Thal
Bio notes: ed.: Thiebold is outside the scope of this family tree because he doesn't appear in the registers of the Berg Church. However, he was added because the evidence is convincing that he is "family." In the 1742 census he is described as prosperous and Catholic. He probably converted at the time of his marriage, so he doesn't appear in the Berg Lutheran records. He and his Feuerstein descendants appear in Catholic and civil records in the vicinity of Thal, where his descendants were living at least (ed.: at) until the late 1800s. (ed.: The 1742 census also describes him as a 48 year old carpenter with five children. The names Anna Elisabetha, Johannes, Agnes, Mathias, and Johann Georg (d. 27 August 1811, aged 62) have been proposed as his children.)
(ed.: He was listed as an heir along with the children of Hans Feuerstein, carpenter of Thal, in the estate documents of Lorentz Feuerstein, the logical conclusion being that he was a son of Hans. )
ed.: Church records about Thiebold are in Latin (and French?)

Death date: Approx 1767
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Birth place: Berg, Alsace, France
Death place: America
Bio notes: At least three different months have been given for Nicholas' and Catharina's marriage. The one given here is from the Berg Church marriage records.
Catharina's birth (2Aug) and baptism (6 Aug 1711) took place in Berg but were recorded in the Drulingen Church. Other important family records are recorded there.

Full name: Michael Firestone
Surname at birth: ed.: Probably Feuerstein, Possibly Firestone
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Catharina (Anna Catharina) Firestone
Father: Nickel (Hans Nickel, Johann Niclaus, Nicholas) Feuerstein
Birth date: Approx 1757
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nicholas-firestone.html
Birth place: Pennsylvania
Interests: Is there any record of Michael as an adult?
Bio notes: ed.: According to Jason W Firestone in 1904, Michael was born in Thal, but that was not possible. There is no baptismal record of him there, and he was only 10 or 11 at the time of his father's death in America. His brother, the second Nicholas, requested a guardian for Michael, aged 11, on June 1, 1768. Source: Shirer Family website. Michael must have been born in 1757 or 1758, four years after the family arrived in America.

Full name: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Giess
Surname at birth: Feuerstein Or Feyerstein
Gender: Female (deceased)

Husband: Michael (Johann Michael) Giess (married 17 Nov 1716 in Eyweiler, recorded at the Berg Church)
Website: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Birth place: unknown, likely Thal, Alsace, France
Bio notes: (Anna Margareta) Margaretha's birth year is uncertain. Presumably she was born about 1698. She is a witness at several Berg baptisms including five where she is identified as the daughter of Hans Feuerstein, already deceased. She was married on November 17, 1716 to Michael Giess and her father is named as Johannes Feuerstein, deceased. (ed.: A sister of Michael, Anna Catharina, was married the same day.) --Margareta, Michael, and their children were frequently witnesses at the baptisms of her brothers' children.
Margaretha and Michael lived in Eyweiler, which has a few church records of its own.
Margaretha appears frequently as a witness at baptims, including some of the children of her brother Andreas. Her husband and children also appear frequently as witnesses at Feuerstein baptisms.
There does not appear to be a burial record for Margaretha in Berg or in Eyweiler. The record of her confirmation appears in the Drulingen registers in 1710.

Full name: Michael (Johann Michael) Giess

Wife: Margaretha (Anna Margaretha) Giess (married 17 Nov 1716 in Eyweiler, recorded at the Berg Church)
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/johannes-feuerstein.html
Bio notes: (Johann, Hans Michael) Michael was the schoolmaster in Eyweiler near Berg for most of his adult life. Michael had sons, brothers, and nephews so it may be that some American Giess families are related to him.
Michael is a witness at the baptism of two of brother-in-law Hans Feuerstein's children and at of one of Andreas Feuerstein's children. Michael's family is well documented in the Berg and Thal records.
His sister (Anna) Margaretha's confirmation record appears in Bockenheim (Bouguenom) in 1703.

Burial date: 28 Oct 1747
Bio notes: Catharina's burial record gives her age, 65 and a half years.
The Church registers of Drulingen sometimes refer to her as Anna Catharina, but in the Berg registers it's always Catharina. Naming conventions in the area support the name Anna Catharina since the first name of her daughters was Anna.

Full name: Marcel Or Martzell Nonnenmacher
Surname at birth: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Gender: Male (deceased)
Mother: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Father: Uncertain Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Wife: Catharina Nonnenmacher
Birth date: 1674
Death date: 2 Dec 1753
Address: http://firestone1753.weebly.com/nonnenmacher-in-laws.html
Death place: Berg, Alsace, France
Profession: clerk and innkeeper usually
Interests: There is a memorial plaque to the war dead in front of the church in Berg. A couple of the names appear to be "Nonnenmacher".
Bio notes: Marcel's death and burial are documented in the Berg Church records. This record is very clearly located with the 1753 burials, but some researchers have misread the year. The record gives his age, 79 years.
There does not appear to be any mention of Marcel Nonnenmacher's father, certainly not in the Berg Church records. But the Berg Church records do mention a Martzel Nonnenmacher of Rexingen, (ed.: the late) stepfather of a 1715 bride in the marriage records. Martzel is one of the spellings of Marcel. --Rexingen is right beside Berg. Rexingen and Martzel are sometimes mentioned in the records of the Lorentzen Church. Martzel is a good candidate for father of Marcel, but good genealogical standards do not permit assumptions.

Full name: Uncertain Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Surname at birth: Nonnenmacher
Gender: Male (deceased)
Partner: Nunnenmacher Or Nonnenmacher
Death place: Rexingen?
Bio notes: A likely candidate for father of Marcel is Marcell/Martzell Nonnenmacher of Rexingen. By all appearances, he was married in Weyer in 1666. Later that year a son named Hans Nickel was born in Weyer to the couple. In 1680 Hans Nickel, son of Marcell Nonnenmacher of Rexingen witnessed a baptism in Waldhambach. In 1715, the marriage of a stepdaughter of Marcell was recorded in Berg. The first Hans Feuerstein witnessed the December 1702 baptism of a son of Martzlov Nunnenmacher and his second wife, Anna Barbara. Assuming that he is the same Marcell, he would have been about 60. (ed.; Some think that Marzlov was the Marcel soon to be living at Berg with wife, (Anna) Catharina.)
Burial records for these Nonnenmachers do not appear in the Berg Church registers.

* Many thanks to James Blodgett for his careful review of this GEDCOM. He compared it to a number of European secondary sources and found a few disparities. Rechecking the Kirchberg registers, most of the mistakes he found were in the European sources, but in a few cases the GEDCOM required correction. Thanks again, James.
