GEORG KAUFFMANN
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.
Georg Kauffmann was born about 1655 in Bissingen
an
der Tech, Wurttenberg Germany. |from Family History Library
Film 1055843, 1612-1774 Bissingen an der Teck,
Wuerttenberg Lutheran records we know father
was
Michael Kauffmann. His mother
may have been Veronica,
maiden name unknown, but first married to a Minder.
The families had lived in this small town for hundreds of years. In the area around Stuttgart, there are 3 towns that could fit the name "Bissingen". They are Bissingen, Bisingen, and Bissingen an der Teck. After a careful study of the 1930's document we believe it is the Bissingen an der Teck. This village is south east of Stuttgart
The LDS library
has a microfilm of the Lutheran church in Bissingen.
All the information here comes from this document. Reading
the old German scrip is a challenge. We can scan the piece
so you can attempt to see it also. Just click under

the family record. It includes the birth and death date of
the bride and groom, their parents, and all their children

Compliation of Church
Records -Western European It is searchable by
name and it is all printed out for you. My copies of
the original church records concurs with the CD. It
is put out by LDS.
His marriage record noted above shows that on Nov. 9,
1669, Georg Kaufmann
married Anna Maria Batzlen. That
record gave his father's name, Michael and her father's name as Michael Batzlen.
Their children were recorded on that same film as:
1. Caspar Kauffmann, born
1680, he wed
Margaretha Mackhen.
2. Hans Jacob
Kauffmann, born 1682
3. Catharina Kauffmann,
born 1684
4. Anna Maria
Kauffmann, born 1685
5. Barbara
Kauffmann, born 1686
6. Anna Barbara
Kauffmann, born 1688 (I wonder if Barbara born
1686 had died?)
7. Margaretha
Kauffmann, born 1688 must be Anna Barbara's twin
8. Hanss Georg
Kauffmann, born 1691
That is a lot of babies in a very short time!
No death records are included in the Kauffmann material
It is not known when either Georg Kauffmann or his wife Anna Maria died.
