Multiple Johann Hubers
In a prior post, I was at a stopping point, having found that my earliest (so far) Huber ancestor, Johann Huber, married in 1696.[1] He apparently was married previously and that marriage did not name his father.

Multiple Johann Hubers
In a prior post, I found that Johann Huber of Wälden was the father of Laurenz Huber who married in 1750.[1] I found in Laurenz’s 1715 baptism record that his mother’s name was Christina. Her maiden name was not listed, which was typical of the baptisms in this time and place.[2] I then went on… Continue reading Multiple Johann Hubers
Where in the World is Wälden?
In a prior post, I found that Johann Huber, father of Laurenz Huber who married in 1751, lived in Wälden.[1] I checked Meyers Gazetteer to find out more about this location. While there is an entry in Meyers for Wälden, there is no associated map that shows its location. Meyers shows Wälden is associated with… Continue reading Where in the World is Wälden?
