Yesterday, I had an incredibly busy, chatty, chaotic, nice and warm afternoon with a fifth cousin from #NewYork and some of our common cousins in the house of their ancestors in #Simonswald (mine apparently had branched out before). The three groups had never met before and I had the responsibility of translating, while everyone was talking curiously in parallel 🤯
While I was waiting for the US cousin and her husband in #Hinterzarten before taking them to Simonswald, I also managed to photograph all the new cemetery burials since my last round in August 2023, so I can add them to @grabsteine / https://grabsteine.genealogy.net/namelist.php?cem=5279 soon.
As another side-quest while being in Simonswald already, I met an explicit offline-researcher and quickly photographed the 150+ pages of one of the church books he had transcribed decades ago.

The early mornings and evenings of the last two days I spent pondering and writing on the profile of my 8th great-grandfather Gallus Bank. I mainly worked with the notes of #Hinterzarten parish priest Vincenz Zahn, who left over 200 pages of notes about the houses and their owners, which he compiled from the church books, an enquiry of the whole parish and a lot of archive visits in the early 1800s. It was touching to read the notes about Gallus that were written in the course of two years and to see, how Zahn learned more, crossed out passages and asked himself the same questions, which I did now.
Currently, it really seems that the author of the 1990s farm chronicles did not dive into this particular family as deep as I did (which makes sense, because he had to write a book about the whole village), so he just went for the easiest road and missed Zahn's final conclusion. Luckily, I had a source, they both very likely didn't have access to, which kind of confirms that the newer chronicles were wrong.
And now I am constantly obsessing about details from the case, asking myself if I really just landed a breakthrough in the still pretty scary field of "before church book #genealogy"?

Ultimately, I asked #grandma, if she knew anything about the predecessor of the current war memorial in #Hinterzarten, in order to figure out, why her designated father Augustin #Steurenthaler is still missing on it, although he went missing during it. But all she remembered was that there were naked men on it and that it was quickly removed after the war.

Dear #genealogy peeps, do you have any hint, where one might be able to find the original 1823/1824 marriage records for #Loretto in #Cambria County in #Pennsylvania? I'm trying to prove that the #Wangler family went to there after leaving #Hinterzarten in #BlackForest.

Immer wieder schön, weil aussichtsreich, ist die Besteigung des Hinterwaldkopfs im hintersten #Dreisamtal am Eingang des Höllentals im Südschwarzwald.
Gestern waren wir sogar größtenteils alleine unterwegs und das bei #Kaiserwetter.
Der Berg ist, egal aus welcher Richtung er bestiegen wird, wunderbar mit den Öffis erreichbar, wir wählten die gemütliche (wenig Höhenmeter bergauf) One-Way-Variante ab #Hinterzarten nach #Himmelreich.

Ski athlete Eduard #Kaltenbach from #Hinterzarten was killed in World War II in the Caucasian Mountains a few days after climbing a mountain together with his friend Linus #Jehle from #Saig. The newspaper notice about his death he shares with Paul #Birkenberger, a fellow skiing colleague, who was killed a few weeks before.
