Neuhofen Church Records

[dsharla1]

Where can I find the church records for deaths in Neuhofen for the early 18th century?

I looked at Archion ... There were some records, but no death certificates for the years 1700 to 1730.

Checked but did not find death record for Johannes Hörlacher. Wife died Dec 1727, widow of farm tenant in Neuhofen. Any recommendation on where else to look?

Where did you find that record? It's not in the book user722 has linked. Maybe a different Neuhofen?

Haven't found his death in Neuhofen, nor the marriage. Not even the baptism of a child.

But his daughter Dorothea Catharina married in Neuhofen in 1724.

So further research in more church registers in the area might be needed.

Sincerely appreciate the additional research. Johannes Horlacher and Eva Catherina lived in Weinheim from at least 1703 to 1714. Eva's death in 1727 and the entry that she was the "surviving widow of Hans Horlacher farm tenant (Bestand Bauer) in Neuhofen" suggests the family moved from Weinheim to Neuhofen sometime after 1714. I am speculating but I believe following Hans' death, the family moved to the Mannheim- Ludwigshafen area. Two of the sons (one is my 5GG) presumably boarded ships there in the spring/early summer of 1727, and emigrated to America. The third son remained behind, presumably cared for his mother until her death in December 1727, and eventually died in Ludwigshafen in 1772. Thanks again...
