In the record Generation 6 — earliest known

1. S122Georg Melchior Julius Proeger & Elisabethe Sabina Lösch — marriage, Triensbach, Crailsheim, Württemberg, 1835. Germany, Marriages, 1558–1929, FamilySearch ARK 1:1:NZMF-P6V (bride's entry 1:1:NZMF-P6F), read 20 September 2026. Groom born 1804 at Ertenbrechtshausen, single; bride born 1803 at Crailsheim. His parents: Joh. Leonhard David Proeger and Eva Barbara Schmidt. Her parents: Joh. Friedrich Melchior Lösch and Maria Dorothea Wolf. This is the record that names a seventh generation on the Proeger side and a sixth on the Lösch side. It is an index entry, not an image: everything it supplies is Probable until a parish register page is read at Triensbach or Crailsheim. ⚠ Three readings of one woman's given name. This index says Elisabethe Sabina; the 1844 Kirchberg baptism register, written at the time and read at full resolution, says Elisabeth Catharina [S69]; Julius's 1924 Pennsylvania death certificate says Lossetta [S68]. The surname Lösch is identical on all three, and this record takes the contemporaneous register as primary. ⚠ The birthplace is a lead, not a finding. The FamilySearch shared tree says Schwäbisch Hall; both index originals say Erten- or Entenbrechtshausen, two readings of one hand, and Erkenbrechtshausen is a real hamlet 3½ km from the Triensbach church. The place-standardiser separately mangled the baptism entry into "Kirchberg an der Iller, Biberach", 150 km south. Always read the original place field, never the standardised one. ⚠ Corrected 26 September 2026: his 1804 birth register [S591] names his mother as Anna Maria Busch. Eva Barbara Schmid(t) was his stepmother, his father's second wife from 1806, and she raised him.
2. S135Georg Melchior Julius Prüger — his own burial register entry, Kirchberg u. Oa., 7 February 1870. Evangelische Kirche Kirchberg (OA. Gerabronn), Heiraten u. Tote 1784–1896, image 639 of 706, burial entry no. 3 of 1870 (page column 634, running no. 205); Landeskirchliches Archiv Stuttgart, through Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500–1985 (Ancestry collection 61023, record 15195522). Read from the register image at full resolution, 5041 × 4061 px, 21 September 2026. Named Georg Melchior Julius Prüger, Schuhmachermeister in Kirchberg a/J.; born 25 Juli 1804; died 4 February 1870 at seven in the evening, buried 7 February at ten in the morning; age at death 65 years, 6 months, 10 days. Parents, both marked deceased: Johann Leonhard David Prüger, Maler (painter) in Erkenbrechtshausen, and Eva Barbara geb. Schmid. Wife named as Elisabetha Sab[ina] geb. Lösch. This is the entry that settles his trade, and it settles it against the schoolteacher. Three register images now name his occupation: his son's 1844 baptism [S69] and his own burial here both say Schuhmachermeister; only his widow's 1872 entry [S133] says Schullehrer, and that one was written two years after he was dead, in a column describing a late husband. Two contemporaneous readings against one posthumous one. The 1872 reading is kept on this page as a variant and is not deleted. ⚠ The entry also checks itself. The stated age of 65 years, 6 months and 10 days counts forward from the stated birth of 25 July 1804 to exactly 4 February 1870 — the stated death date, to the day. Birth and death corroborate each other inside one record, which no index can do. ⚠ The parentage is no longer index-only. It was carried here from Ancestry's transcription until this reading; the names are now off the image, and the image adds a trade and a maiden name that no index held. The father's residence, Erkenbrechtshausen, is the same village this page already records as Georg's own birthplace [S12] — independently recorded, and the match is what confirmed the reading of a difficult compound. The mother's surname may be written Schmid or Schmidt; the terminal stroke does not decide it and it is not forced here. ⚠ Corrected 26 September 2026: his 1804 birth register [S591] names his mother as Anna Maria Busch. Eva Barbara Schmid(t) was his stepmother, his father's second wife from 1806, and she raised him.
3. S591Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers — Triensbach, births 1804, p. 9, no. 10: Georg Melchior Julius Proeger, 25 July 1804. Ancestry record 16796853, image 1860313-00512. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Son of Johann Leonhard David, Tüncher Mstr. at Erkenbrechtshausen, and Maria geb. Büschin (Anna Maria Busch); born at Erkenbrechtshausen. This is his birth register, and it names his mother as Anna Maria Busch, not Eva Barbara Schmid. The 1835 marriage index and the 1870 burial name Eva Barbara, his stepmother, who raised him.

Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers, Ancestry record 16798771, film 1860313, image 00902. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Confirmed “Georg Friedrich Pröger, B. u.

6. S739Großaltdorf and Triensbach baptism, marriage and burial index entries, 1828–1907, for the children of Johann Michael and Georg Friedrich Pröger. Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers (index). Index only, searched 26 September 2026. Probable The parents’ names and places match on every entry. The baptism images for the sons have not been read. Margaretha Barbara’s burial (S788) and Barbara’s baptism (S789) have been, and correct the index: Margaretha Barbara was born 20 January 1829 and died 23 January 1831. Burials and a marriage have since been read (S775, S777, S778) and correct the index: Johann Friedrich died at Hausen on 31 May 1907, and Johann Georg died on 28 February 1904, the 2 March date being his burial. The Württemberg emigration index has no entry for either brother.
7. S775Triensbach marriage register, 1864 no. 8: Georg Friedrich Pröger and Margaretha Barbara Bauer, 27 September 1864. Ancestry record 16799012. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Confirmed Groom Georg Friedrich Pröger, born 25 December 1838 at Erkenbrechtshausen, son of “† Georg Friedrich Pröger, Weber und Köbler” and Maria Margaretha geb. Stegmaier; bride Margaretha Barbara Bauer of Gröningen, daughter of Johann Michael Bauer. Family register II,343. The cross before the father's name means he was dead by September 1864. A second Georg Friedrich Pröger, a living master weaver (family register II,344, wife the late Catharina Barbara Philipp?), appears on the same page; this entry is ours by its register number and the mother's name. Collection: Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers.
8. S776Triensbach burial register, 1887 no. 5: Maria Margaretha Frank, born Stegmaier, died 16 May 1887. Ancestry record 16190318. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Confirmed “Maria Margr. Frank g. Stegmaier”, a weaver's widow at Triensbach, died 16 May 1887 of dropsy and was buried 19 May, aged 85 years 5 months. Husbands: I. † Georg Friedr. Pröger, weaver; II. † Joh. Leonhard Frank, weaver at Erkenbrechtshausen. Parents: † Gg Simon Stegmaier, weaver, and † Kathrine Batz. Family register II,343. The same register number as the 1864 marriage (S775), which ties the two entries to one family. It gives her birth as 18 December 1801; her 1836 marriage (S738) says 10 December. Both are secondary for the birth and the question is open until her 1801 baptism is read. Collection: Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers.
