Anna Maria daughter of "Joes Jacobi" Cornell and Eva ______ born 1679 in Bechtheim

1679 In festo pentecostes baptizata est Anna Maria Margarethe Corneli "Jois Jacobi" Corneli et Eva Cont: Catholicorum legit filia, Matrina fuit Anna Cornelius et Maria Margarethe Wilhelms Parochus Lutheranus (Bechtheim parish records)

Notes

• The records for Cornell in Bechtheim are so limited that it is possible that this was actually the baptism of Anna Maria who married Wilhelm Kirchoff. The wife's name, Eva is the same as the wife of Cornell Cornell.
• The spacing of this baptism is also in keeping with the birth rates of the time. Jacob was baptized in 1876 and Casimiri was baptized in 1681. A 1679 baptism for a child of Cornel and Eva would make sense.
• This may represent a clerical error. However, Cornell Cornell born circa 1676 was also listed as the son of Jois Jacobi Cornell at the time of his marriage in 1697. See Cornell Cornell below.

Records In Bechtheim

LDS film #1044837 - I checked births, marriages and death for Cornell in Bechtheim until 1730s.

According to the Internet "Simultaneum" was introduced in Bechtheim in 1700. Simulataneum preserved rights for Catholics in Germany in churches that had turned Protestant as a result of the Protestant Revolution. Under this concept Catholics and Protestants shared a common church, holding their worships at different times. This practice was introduced in every parish were there were at least 7 Catholic families. It could also involve the sectioning off of parts of the church for the different congregations.

The notation on the baptisms of Jacob Cornell in 1675, Casimiri in 1681 and Anna Marie in 1679 indicate that the family was Catholic but contain the notation "Parochus Lutheranus" at the end of all three records.

In may be that Simulataneum ended (rather than began) in Bechtheim around 1700. The records show that the earlier ones all said the family was Catholic but the the "Parochus" was "Luteranus" but quickly switched to a combination of "Parochus" plus Dominicanus, Cameleti, Capucinis, Cypranis or Obernheim (Obernheim is not near Bechtheim). By 1696 there is no distinction made.

1700 List of Bechtheim Catholic Community

A list under the heading COMMUNITAS CATHOLICA IN BECHTHEIM in 1700 did not include any Cornells.

Notes:

• Unfortunately, many cemeteries in Germany removed the old graves and grave markers (if they existed) to make room for new burials. Consequently there are not many old grave markers in modern cemeteries. The cemeteries that we have visited are lovingly maintained with beautiful flowers. Herrnsheim's cemetery was no exception. We did not find any Göhle graves. There were a few new graves for Harbauers and the Arnold and Bardong names were very common. The only older tombstones were for former burgermeisters. There were also a few older markers for fallen soldiers - including one for Bardong and one for Harbauer.
• There were several listings for Harbauer in the Worms phone book for 2007.
• The church records were recorded in Latin and the civil records were recorded in German. The church records were recorded in the Catholic Parish Church of St Peter in Herrnsheim. The records for Herrnsheim were (more or less) written in Latin. The spelling of the names varied depending, I think, on the whim or the person recording the event. "in" was added to most female surnames, but not all. Endings for male names varied with "us", "i", "o" being most common. However, in the case of Jo(h)ann it sometimes ended with "e". Most female names ended with "a".

Notes:

• The IGI lists both the name "Hartbauer" and Harbauer". The overwhelming majority of the listings in Hesse (under either spelling) occur in Herrnsheim.

• Herrnsheim (Herrn's heim), meaning Gentleman's Home, was a Catholic village just north of the city of Worms. The "Gentleman's Home" was the "schloss" (palace or castle) of the von Dahlberg (Dalberg) family.

• All of the Hartbauers in Herrnsheim appear to be related to Balthazar Hartbauer who married Elizabeth ___ in Herrnsheim in 1690. All of the Hartbauer records in Herrnshiem from 1690 onward relate to them or their son Johann, born circa 1694, and his offspring.

• In the earlier records the name was most frequently spelled HARTBAUER in the latter records the T was frequently dropped and the name was spelled HARBAUER. It was also spelled Hartbaur.
