  1. S443Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers — Wallhausen, marriages 1813, no. 1: Georg Andreas Renk and Margaretha Barbara Seibold, 29 January 1813. Ancestry record 14293437. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Georg Andreas Renk, born 27 April 1776, son of Georg Michael Renk, mason, and Maria Barbara, “widower of the late Maria Margaretha geb. Zins”, marries on 29 January 1813 Margaretha Barbara Seibold, born 1784 at Michelbach an der Lücke. The original register, not an index row. It is his second marriage, and it shows his first wife, Maria Margaretha Zins, died between Eva Margaretha's birth in January 1809 and January 1813. The bride's relatives and the pastor named in the entry are not kin and are not entered.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
