[S8]  Information from an informant - Auskunft eines Informanten - Information d'un informateur.Hi Ursula,
 
 
 
 Thank you so much for your speedy reply to my message about the
 Birkenhoerdt Project.  I’m delighted to hear from you and that we are
 related on both my grandmother’s and grandfather’s side.  That is beyond
 my wildest imaginings.
 
 
 
 
 I’m a total amateur when it comes to genealogy.  In fact, I haven’t even
 charted my ancestors on my father’s side as found in my copy of my aunt
 Sophie’s Ahnenpass.  When I’ve read through it in the past I only managed
 to remember some of the more common female first names in the family –
 names like Anna Maria, Katharina, and Margaretha (Margaretha or Margarete
 is my second name, after my grandmother).  Before I can contribute
 anything, I am going to have to decipher and chart what I have to get it
 into a coherent order.  If you can be patient a little longer, I will make
 that one of my upcoming projects and will forward the information to you
 for the Project. Meanwhile, I could give you the names and birthdates and
 birthplaces of my siblings and myself, and my own children and
 grandchildren (my siblings do not have any children), if that is of
 interest to you.
 
 
 
 My oldest sister is Maria Elisabeth Glasswick, nee Hirsch, born September
 14, 1944, in Edesheim, Pfalz.
 
 I am Christina Margarete Ward, nee Hirsch, born August 9, 1946, in
 Bergzabern (now Bad Bergzabern), Pfalz.
 
 My youngest sister is Dorothea Luise Schultz, nee Hirsch, born February
 19, 1949, in Bergzabern, Pfalz.
 
 
 
 All 3 of us are the children of Emil and Maria Katharina Hirsch, nee
 Habermehl and, as you already know, Emil Hirsch was the son of Andreas and
 Margaretha Hirsch, nee Ehrhardt.  It looks like Andreas was the son of
 Andreas and Maria Anna Hirsch, nee Lang and he was born May 15th, 1880 in
 Blankenborn, and Margaretha, his wife was born February 1, 1883 in
 Birkenhoerdt.  I don’t know when they moved to Bergzabern but my father’s
 siblings were born in the following places:
 
 
 
 Anna Ehrhardt, Landau, July 3, 1909
 
 Agnes Anna Hirsch, Birkenhoerdt, January 20, 1912
 
 Walter Hirsch, Birkenhoerdt, March 29, 1913
 
 (Emil Hirsch, Birkenhoerdt, March 7, 1915)
 
 Sophie Hirsch, Birkenhoerdt, February 23, 1916
 
 Alois Hirsch, Birkenhoerdt, October 20, 1917
 
 Emma Emilie Hirsch, Bergzabern, January 12, 1924
 
 
 
 I could give you the occupations of several of these 7 siblings, as it’s
 given in the Ahnenbuch and in a letter from Sophie, if you wanted. There
 was also a sibling who died in infancy but I don’t have the particulars on
 that. His name may have been Hermann, but I can’t say for certain.  I’m
 not certain either if any of the siblings are still alive today.  I know
 that Anna, Emil, Sophie and Alois are dead though.
 
 
 
 You mention that it seems that my grandfather did not serve in the army
 during the First World War.  I think it was because of his poor vision,
 that he may have been rejected but I have no proof to support that, just
 that I heard that his vision was pretty poor when I was growing up.  What
 you write of not being able to find a military record seems to support
 that somewhat.
 
 
 
 Please let me know what information you are looking for and I will
 meanwhile try to decipher and chart anything on the paternal side of my
 father’s family that is in this Ahnenpass and get that information to you.
 
 
 
 Is there any way I can see more than just the information I found on your
 website for Alois Hirsch, like how you and I are related, for example?
 I’m not the most computer savvy person around, so if it was on the website
 and I didn’t see it, I apologize for my oversight in advance.
 
 
 
 Thank you again for your warm and prompt reply.  As I said above, I was
 absolutely delighted to hear from you.  I will do anything I can to assist
 you with your project with the information I have.  Thank you for all the
 work you have already done on this project.  It’s amazing.
 
 
 
 With warm wishes,
 
 
 
 Chris

 Beschreibung: Hallo,
 der v.g. wurde am 28.Okt. 1917 in Birkenhördt getauft.
 Danke für die EMail von Recs in Sachen Stöbener Philipp. Das ist mein
 Onkel. Ich habe ihn 1980 kennengelernt, als er uns mit Frau und Sohn in
 Birkenhördt besuchte. Meine Tante, Maria Stöbener, bei denen ich
 aufgewachsen bin, hatte regelmäßig Briefkontakt mit dem Bruder Philipp.
 Alle diese Briefe und unheimlich viele Bilder, habe ich in meinen
 Unterlagen verwahrt. Meine Schwester Cäcilia ging dann 1958 diesen Onkel
 in Neeseeland besuchen, lernte dort einen Mann kennen, heiratete dort, hat
 dann 3 Kinder geboren. Sie war in der Vergangenheit 3 mal wieder bei uns
 in Birkenhördt zu Besuch! Soviel zu diesem Onkel Philipp! Berthold

 Description: Andreas and Margarethe were married on July 7, 1911 (Standesamtlich).
 
 Andreas' date of birth was May 15, 1880, in Blankenborn.
 
 Andreas's baptism date was May 19, 1880, in Blankenborn.
 
 Andreas died in Bergzabern on what looks like either January or June 20, 1933 (according to my father's notes).
 
 Margaretha's birth is shown as February 3, 1883 and her baptism as February 8, 1883, in Birkenhoerdt.
 
 She died on May 5, 1939, in Bergzabern (I believe, as that is where they were living). This is according to my father's notes.
 
 Photograph of above two entries in Tante Sophie's Ahnenbuch to follow by separate post.
