Hello Carol,
did you allready check the LDS-database? If not, here is an overview of what is available: http://www.igi-index.de/?page_id=65.
Kind regards
Detlef
Carol,
which documents do you have from the United States?
What are your sources for Stuttgart as place of birth and Gottlieb and Sofia as parents?
If this is your Gottlieb R, he seems to be born in 1871, not 1870: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NHB4-RZJ
born in 1871
Baptized (not born) in Sept. 1871.
Ja ja, das ist schon klar, aber wenn er im September 1871 getauft wurde und der Geburtsmonat mit August angegeben wird, gehe ich schon davon aus, dass die Geburt auch 1871 war. Muss natürlich nicht so sein. Ich weiß ja nicht, woher Carol ihre Informationen hat, aber z. B. in den Volkszählungen stimmen die Jahre ja meist nicht genau.
Hallo Anita,
wenn wir uns in den Bereich der Spekulation begeben wollen, können wir ja auch annehmen, dass Gottlieb R. Bö. und Gottlieb C. Bö. Brüder (oder Vettern) mit einem Altersunterschied von einem Jahr waren.
Possibly Gottlieb R. Bö. and Gottlieb C. Bö. are not the same person but brothers or cousins.
Gruß
Detlef
Das verstehe ich jetzt zwar nicht ganz, aber spekulieren bringt eh nichts. Carol sollte erst mal weitere (aus Amerika) bekannte Details liefern. Ich vermute nämlich, die vermeintlichen Eltern hat sie auch nur bei familysearch gefunden.
Carol, where in the United States was your Gottlieb living? Who was his wife? When did he emigrate?
I found a Gottlieb, who died in 1938 in Michigan, but he seems to be born abt 1860.

Hi Carol,
What you can do is search for the family in the familybooks.
There is Gottlieb Robert born in 1870/1871 (?) and Mathilde born in 1873. Both are baptized at the Hospitalkirche in Stuttgart. So maybe the parents got married about 1869/1870.
So search the film nr. 1054312 or 1054313 for the familyregister
https://familysearch.org/searc…amily%20History%20Library
Good luck
Evi
Carol, do you have one single American document attesting that your Gottlieb Robert was born in Stuttgart?
The first that you have to do, is to look for all information you can find in the United States: Naturalization papers, death certificate.... and not until you know his actual place of birth you can start with your search in Germany.
Everything else is only speculation.
