 | Schönhals Family Research — Hessen, 1994
Fifty-eight pages of professional genealogical research into the SCHÖNHALS family of Hessen, commissioned in 1994 and carried out in Germany by Schröder & Fülling GbR, with Alexander Fülling, Kurt F. Laube and Karl-L. Günther. It contains the compiled pedigree — Johannes Schönhals of Köddingen, Georg Heinrich of Heidelbach, Ernst Ludwig, Johann Georg — together with the Stiederoth line, and the correspondence with the Evangelische Pfarrämter at Simmersbach, Grünberg, Feldatal and Kirchhain that produced it. This is the source from which the Schönhals branch of this tree was entered. Scanned in 2008; text recognition added in 2026, so the whole report is searchable. A narrative summary of the Wiser line into which this family married is at Family History of WISER/WYSER from Niedergösgen on craigwalsh.eu. |
