Oberkalbach Parish Records

OBERKALBACH, HESSEN, GERMANY

Village of my Berthold & Ullrich Ancestors

OBERKALBACH PARISH RECORDS

1654-1900

When I began genealogical research into my Berthold and Ullrich families, I was fortunate to have a solid beginning. As a result of Adolph Hitler's requirement for Germans to prove their genealogical heritage for 4 generation, I had a record of 4 generations of my maternal line.

In the 1960's, I corresponded with the Lutheran minister of Oberkalbach in an attempt to extend beyond the information I had. Rumor had it that the church records were burned during WW II. Fortunately, this proved to be a false rumor. Actually, some of the civil records in the area had been burned, but the church records were intact. The minister was cooperative in sending me another generation to extend my pedigree, but that was the extent of his willingness to spend his time on my genealogy. I'm sure he had more pressing work to do. Since the Genealogical Society of Utah had not been allowed by the German archives to microfilm the church records for the Oberkalbach area, my research came to a screeching halt.

Many years passed. In fact, it was 30 years before the magic of the internet opened new doors for me. Having signed onto the internet in January 1996, I received an unexpected e-mail in February from Germany from a cousin I had not seen since 1975. We began to correspond, which eventually led to his making some inquiries for me in Oberkalbach. He found that the parish records beginning in 1654 had been abstracted by a number of volunteers under the direction of the pastor and were in book form, available for purchase. At long last, a way to continue my research! My cousin was able to purchase the books of births/baptisms, marriages and deaths for me. Many of my ancestors were in this village from the beginning of the records. I extracted a total of over 100 families -- 1200 individuals!

Upon my request, the pastor with the approval of the town council, gave written permission for the Family History Library to microfilm these records. The microfilm number is 1183734. It can be ordered to view at your nearest LDS Family History Center. These records also include marriage records for the villages of Heubach and Uttrichshausen, but not the births/baptisms or the death for those two villages.

I would be happy to do a lookup for you if you have an ancestor in any of these 3 villages.
