Franziskus Josephus Baltz & Maria Christina Kaltenhöver
Within the St. Cyriakus church books, I’ve found the expected records. Thanks to the 1150 Jahre Schmerlecke 883-1983 book, we also have some diary entries, which are mainly commerce records/receipts.
This generation brings the first of many to bear the name of Franz Joseph and he was the key figure who made me decide to implement generational labeling within my research and filing system.
The spelling of his last name transitions from Baltz to Balz. The Birth/Baptism record uses Baltz, but the marriage record uses Balz.
Franziskus dies in 1861 aged 65. Maria Christina dies in 1866 aged 74.
We believe Franziscus and Maria Christina spend their lives farming the Bals-Lusebrink in Schmerlecke, Germany.
