Christened Henricus Augustus Barth about 12 May 1861 in Hauenstein, Bavaria in the Palatinate region of Germany according to LDS microfilm records. This was known as the Pfalz Bayern region (Palatinate Bavaria). However, after World War II it is in the Rheinland Pfalz area (Rhineland Palatinate). These records were from Katholische Kirche Hauenstein (BA, Pirmasens) the Kirchenbuch, 1800-1961. They can be found at www.familysearch.org at Batch No. J986582, Date 1795-1875, Source Call No. 0400462 Microfilm. The records show that he was an only child and they list the names of his parents. The Catholic Church used Latin as the official language then, and apparently recorded all names in the Latin format. However, nothing else is known about the parents. German spelling would be Heinrich August Barth with the American being Henry August Barth. Henry Barth (great-grandson) in Brimfield, Illinois has a beer mug from Germany that has the following: Heinrich Barth - Kaiserslautern - 1893 - Andenken. Don't know if this is where he lived or whether this is from a trip back to Germany after moving to US. It is near to Hauenstein. Henry Barth came to the US before 1884. His original bakery was on Lincoln Avenue in Peoria, across from Lincoln Park. The first three sons (Henry and Herman and Julius) all worked in the bakery. There is a story that they would work most of the night and sometimes drink beer while working (they were good Germans). They would occasionally fight (as brothers do) and there are reports of them chasing each other across Lincoln Park in the middle of the night with knives.Henry Barth moved the bakery to Main Street in Peoria below the hill. Henry Barth was apparently very successful as a baker and was active and important in the German-American Society in Peoria. He travelled back to Germany several times (it is reported that he went with the Trefzgers and others).Note Hauenstein is in southwestern Germany about 15 miles from the border with France. It is about 35 miles east of the Germany city of Saarbrucken. Three small towns that are mentioned in Barth records are nearby. Pirmasens is 10 miles west, Zweibrucken is 20 miles west, and Kaiserslautern is 20 miles north.
