Hello Fred
This is a very belated response to your most informative response to my enquiries over a year ago. My apologies, but going through my spam folder over the past couple of days ¨C I¡¯ve found it!
?
Thank you so much for your advice and assistance. It is very much appreciated.
?
As far as I know the family is Catholic and has been indefinitely.? Unfortunately this and the family choice of religion makes my research more challenging as you state.
?
However, I note that you have information on Sofie, which I do not have. Please could you provide me with more details e.g. an attachment and/or source.
?
Any further assistance is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Elizabeth

Elizabeth,

You know you are near the beginning of the available records in much the Wurttemberg area because of the (1618-1648). The 30-Years War was between the Catholics and Protestants where each were rampaging the region burning each others churches (and records). Where records do exist there may be a gap in that period making it difficult to go further back with accuracy. The earliest possible records would be circa 1550, when the churches (both Catholic and Protestant) started recording the BMD records for common man. If you can make a connection to royalty you may be able to go further back.

I see some of those people are indexed in the databases at FamilySearch, but there is no linkage to a FS Family Tree. I've started your family at FS FT for you with Karl Kraus and Maria-Anna Halbherr. See FSFT ID =

What was the religion of the family? The daughter of Karl and Maria Anna, Sofie, was baptized in the Evangelische (Lutheran) Church in Kirchberg (OA. Gerabronn). Her marriage was also recorded the same church in Kirchberg, but was solemnized in Stuttgart. Apparently none of the other children were Evangelische, nor was their marriage. Did Sofie change religion??

There is no marriage in the Evangelische Church in Zwiefalten for Karl and Anna Marie.

The Catholic record microfilms for Unlingen, Gauingen, and Zwiefalten are all digitized, however none are indexed. The digitized microfilms are restricted and may only be viewed at an LDS Family History Center.

Hello everyone
I'm researching my husband's paternal ancestry of W¨¹rttemberg.
With help from family in earlier times, I've traced the Kraus family back in a direct line (essentially) to mid 1600s.
Johann Kraus married Barbara SCHMID in 1685 Unlingen, Bibernach (had at least 3 children)
Christian Kraus married Maria EDLER 1708 Unlingen (had at least 10 children)
Karl Kraus married Anna BUTSCHER1745 Unlingen (had at least 7 children)
Johann George Kraus married first Clara REI?ER 1774 Gauingen (had at least 3 children) and then Anna HERTER (had another 4 or more)
Hygin Kraus married Anna MAYER 1804 Zwiefalten (had at least 8 children)
Karl Kraus married Maria-Anna HALBHERR 1852 Zwiefalten (had at least 14 children)

I would be most interested to have contact with anyone who can assist me further please. In particular documents and related family names would be great.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Elizabeth Kraus (Australia)
