FWIW, there are also records freely available through familysearch.org. You need to create an account but it's free. I believe the data is comparable, but the searching metaphor is a little more difficult to learn how to use.

I live in Reutlingen, maybe I should call the cityhall or the church and ask about your people with your permission?

Looks like they took the Johann off name in records should the Johann be added to all these names grrrrrr. Overseas research terrible.

German naming, you will find, is quite consistent but a person can be known by different monikers throughout their lives.

(1) Their true name is what is in the christening record
(2) After 1650 or so, most German names were two-part. Commonly "Hans xxx" when born, "Johann xxx" when married (or just "xxx"), and "Johann xxx" when deceased. Females: "Anna xxx".
(3) Rule (2) was often broken by people giving two distinct names at birth, e.g. "Georg Michael". This sometimes confused the scribes, who will call such a person "Johann Georg" or "Johann Michael" interchangeably, or sometimes "Georg Michael".
(4) By 1800 or so, there were a lot of multiple middle names in use. These didn't seemingly appear in christening records. E.g. "Georg Michel Friedrich xxx".
(5) Sometimes there only was ONE name, and it was "Hanss" or "Johannes". Very rarely do you see "Johann" by itself except by error. So when I see "Johann" I presume somebody forgot the all-important middle name.

My basic rule is to create the profile with the name in the record, and only as more records are determined add more stuff to the name.
