THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

 

Margaretha Schneider was born in 1559 in Bissingen, Wurttemberg, Germany. Her father was Laxahanns Schneider.  Her mother is unknown.
LDS Western European Church Records 1558-1607 are on FHL Film 1055840 The records actually show christenings for 2 Margreta Schneyders.
The first was on Oct 16, 1558, father listed as Hans Schneyder.  The 2nd just says "birth date 1559".  I fear that the first Margreta died after her birth in 1558.  Couples often named a subsequent child after a child who had died.  So I think it very likely that happened here and our Margreta was born in 1559. .

Margaretha wed Michel Batzlin on Sept 19, 1582  in Bissingen an der Teck.  from LDS Western European Church Records 1576-1590 are on FHL Film 1055840  The marriage records gives the father of both parties. It would have been the first marriage for both Margaretha and Michel, as fathers were only listed for 1st marriages.

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. Close by there is a Dettingen unter Teck. It is the home of other relatives. These villages are south east of Stuttgart.

From the church records we have the following children christened by Margaretha and Michel Batzlin:
1.  Sylvester Batzlin, christened Nov. 1590
2.  Michael Batzlin  christened May 29, 1603

I feel sure there were more babies.  There are gaps in the records.

It is not known when either Margaretha or her husband, Michel Batzlin died.
