Film 740080 - Church records, 1743-1793

I did research on this microfilm reel beginning in September, 2000.

This reel contains the oldest records from Soufflenheim, except possibly the Evangelical Church records for Sessenheim.

All records on this reel are handwrtten.

The reel is divided into five volumes. Volume 2 is split into two sections, which I have called 2A and 2B. Volume 1 is by far the largest. Volumes 3, 4, and 5 are very small.

• Vol. 1 - Baptemes (baptisms) 1748-1783
  • p.1 1748; p.13 1749; p.28 1750; p.56 1751; p.72 1752; p.88 1753; p.108 1754; p.132 1755; p.161 1756; p.192 1757; p.213 1758; p.232 1759; p.250 1760; p.265 1761; p.283 1762; p.301 1763; p.319 1764; p.337 1765; p.359 1766; p.378 1767; p.400 1768; p.424 1769; p.445 1770; p.461 1771; p.479 1772; p.499 1773; p.522 1774; p.547 1775; p.570 1776; p.594 1777; p.621 1778; p.643 1779; p.666 1780; p.; p.697 1781; p.722 1782; p.749 1783
  • p.751-758 is a list of names, perhaps a parish census
• Vol. 2 - Baptemes, Mariages (marriages), Sepultures (burials) 1748-1783
  • I see a few marriages and burials in this volume, intermingled with the baptisms. Mostly baptisms.
  • Vol. 2A - 1783 through Aug-1791
    • p.1 1783; p.23 1784; p.49 1785; p.71 1786; p.97 1787; p.126? 1788; p.1 1789
    • The year 1790 is missing
  • Vol. 2B - Aug-1791 through Dec-1792
    • The pages for the year 1791 are in incorrect order:
      • Vol. 2A:
        • p.21 - 01-Oct through p.24 - 29-Nov
        • p.1 - 06-Jan through p.15 - 21-Aug
      • Vol. 2B:
        • p.14 - 11-Aug though p.20 - 26-Sep
        • p.25 - 30-Nov through 10-Dec
• Vol. 3 - Mariages 1743-1754
• Vol. 4 - Mariages, Sepultures, 1788-1791
• Vol. 5 - Sepultures, 1788-1793

There is a gap in the marriage and burial records between 1755 and 1787.

Rosa Raiman has compiled an index of all of the baptisms from volumes 1 and 2. You can find it at "Soufflenheim Baptism Index, 1748-1793, By Rosa Raiman."
