I have ancestors where I'd like to access records, for example
circa 1600
Mauchenheim, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany

and

circa 1593
Herxheim, Rhineland Pfalz, Germany

Can anyone help? Please?

I can see, what I can come up with. I am pretty much, local. (3 hours away from Bayern.)
But can scan through records in German and translate anything seemingly, interesting.

Hi everybody,
I just came in from hospital and I wonder what Mauchenheim had to do with Bavaria . It's Rhineland-Palatinate and palatinate means Pfalz and there is a palatinate in Bavaria, too, upper and lower palatinate.

I also saw that there are two Herxheim's in different parts.

In Mauchenheim you could ask a Mr.Arm Telefon: 063522678
and ask if they have a "Stadtarchiv". If they haven't, ask for the next archive concerning Mauchenheim.
Every town or village has an "Einwohneramt" which is a sort of registration office. Most of the time you only can search for living people but they can also tell you where to find the older ones.

You can ask everybody for "Einwohneramt" because everybody must now it.,

The same it is with Herxheim.

Good luck

Hi

My oldest ancestor, Johannes Aqua (Akwa), was born around 1726, in the region of Mainz. He was a Catholic merchant (doc. No. 5671) who migrated to the Volga in Russia in 1766, with his wife, Anna Maria, and children Johannes Baptist, 20, and Maria Appolonia, 21. In Russia it was recorded the location where they lived as Kutonin but I do not identify that location in that region.

In Mainz I have made ​​sure that there was no family Aqua. I believe that the next to Sponhheim or Gutenberg existed several families Aqua, coming from France, but in most Lutheran.

If anyone knows where I can get data from the Catholic Church of Sponheim or Gutenberg, I'd be grateful.
