Teck,
Wuerttenberg Lutheran
records. She was christened the next day
in the Lutheran church by her parents Michael Mackh and his wife
Barbara Schemppen.
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

wonderful form has the family record. It includes the
birth and death
date of the bride and groom, their parents, and all their
children with
birth , confirmation and death. There is also a 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.
