Notes:

Regarding Rauischholzhausen, Germany....

Anna Barbara Lauer was born in Holzhausen, Hesse, Germany.

There are several places named Holzhausen in Hesse. Our source from www.ahnenforschung-berg.de began searching and finally found the birth record of Anna Barbara Lauer in a nearby place which is called Rauischholzhausen today. It was renamed at some time to distinguish it from other Holzhausens.

Rau was the name of the noble family that had their castle there. So their familiy name was placed in front of the place name.

So Rauischholzhausen means Rau's Holzhausen.

Her confirmation record reads "nata in Holzhausen in Unterhessen" which translates to "born in Holzhausen in Lower Hesse.

Died:
This entry at http://192.237.29.216/getperson.php?personID=I42628&tree=Eby quite likely represents the record of death of Anna Barbara (Lauer) Wurm on 30 Jan 1856.
