,
There was some confusion years
ago whether the name was Anna Jeger or
Anna Geunder. Both married brothers ----Johannes Hersche and Andrew
(Hans) Hersche and the marriage date is the same for both couples--
15 Aug 1696. Was it a double wedding or is there an error and
the brothers are one and the same person and the Anna's are the
same person?
Was in Friedelsheim, Germany in 1672. He was Mennonite.
Christian married Elizabeth Heistand.
Andrew has other marriages. Is it
possible that the first son Christian
and the second son Andrew are twins? Judith, your data shows Christian
born Jan 1730 and Andrew born 1734/35. Scott Funk's data(usually not
too reliable )shows these two sons born both in 1734.
