Hello,
I've been fortunate enough to get quite far back in one of my family lines: the 1500s for my FRIEDRICH and BOEHM lines, located in Bockau, Erzgebirgskreis, Saxony. I have found in the Family Search catalogs a book of property transfers in Bockau 1560-1841. This has been interesting and a bit helpful.
When looking on My Heritage and GEDBAS, I see many other researchers who share my ancestors for this time frame. Many seem to have a lot of information regarding baptism, marriage and death dates, but I do not see their sources (other than another researcher's data).
I wonder if anyone here knows of a source for this Bockau information. I am not in a position to doubt the accuracy of their information. There are many German resources that I am not aware of. I only wondered if I can verify the information for myself.
Thank you for any insight.
Regards,
Ellen
