Johann Bernard Kieser★ and ________★

The records in Worms: The LDS microfilms for St Peters Catholic Church in Worms start in 1695 — too late for the birth of Johann Bernard Kieser.

Birth: No later than 1666 based on an age of twenty at the estimated birth year of his first known child.

Occupation: receptoris hospidalis hujatis ad S Spirituan [local hospitality receptionist at Holy Spirit] (From Worms marriage record of his daughter, Anna Amelia, in 1710 as filmed by LDS)

Religion: Catholic

Marriage: Unknown

Children:

1. Johann Bernard Kieser (c1688-) and Marie Margarethe Wallreuther

   Birth: Bernard Kieser circa 1688. He is the presumed son of Bernard Kieser based on: the name, limited number of Kieser records in the parish and the estimated year of birth.

   * p.m. means Matthias Wallreuther was deceased at the time of the marriage of his daughter in 1708. pratoris is some sort of government official. Kiderrich im Rheingau is now called Kiedrich. Filia leg. stands for legitimate daughter (Worms parish records as filmed by LDS)
