Looking for Jacob Heinzelmann, Coachmaker, Württemberg, children baptized 1867–1871

I am researching a Jacob Heinzelmann (born approximately 1834, Württemberg) who worked as a coachmaker (Wagenmacher). His wife was Christina, maiden name Schein, born approximately 1839 in Bavaria. They had at least three sons baptized in Württemberg before emigrating to America in September 1873:
  • Johannes Heinzelmann, born approximately 1867
  • Georg Heinzelmann, born approximately December 21, 1869
  • Jacob Heinzelmann Jr., born September 13, 1871
Jacob naturalized in Seneca County, Ohio in 1876 and declared himself a native of Württemberg, Germany.
I have searched FamilySearch indexed records without success. Can anyone suggest which parish or Dekanat to search in Archion for this family? Any help is greatly appreciated.


 
The Heinzelmann family is known in Reinerzau since the beginning of the parish registers in 1558. I have a couple of them in my pedigree, not direct ancestors, but related. The chances that you can find a connection between Jacob Heinzelmann and these early Heinzelmanns are quite good from my point of view.

 
Well, thank you all! I was trying to tie Jacob’s wife, Christina, to my direct maternal line of the Schein/Shine name. I have an Ohio 1880 census where my 2x great grandfather, Charles Shine, is listed with the Jacob Heinzelman family as a brother in law. I was working on the theory Christena was his sister, but he must have been married to a sister of Jacob’s. So, now I must rework my thinking and try to find Jacob’s family where he is a child and investigate his sisters. I’m trying to find my great great grandfather’s family in Germany and when he immigrated. Has to be before 1850 because he was in Ohio by then.
