Herrnsheim (Herrn's heim), meaning Gentleman's Home, was a Catholic village just north of the city of Worms. The "Gentleman's Home" was the "schloss" (palace or castle) of the von Dahlberg (Dalberg) family. Gauersheim is a village to the west of Herrnshiem.

Adam Scheer★ (circa 1752-??) and Magdelena Koch★ (1752-1805)

Birth of Adam Scheer: 1752 based on an age of 20 years at the time of his marriage in 1772. Possibly earlier.

Notes:

• The Worms Archives in their 2007 report suggested that he may have been from Gauersheim. There are records for them in Gauersheim; marriage in 1771, baptism of Franz in 1774 and Adam in 1780.
• The limited number of records in Herrnshiem for the name Scheer indicate that they had not been in the parish long when Adam and Magdelina were having their family.
• There are indications on the IGI that there were Scheers in Abenheim.
• Magdelena death could indicate that he was born circa 1752 (age is very hard to read).

Note If the age is 53 years it would put her birth circa 1752. This would have made her circa 43 years old at the time of the birth of Anne Margarethe. If this is correct it most likely indicates that they had children before Antonio in 1789.

Notes:

• Unfortunately, many cemeteries in Germany removed the old graves and grave markers (if they existed) to make room for new burials. Consequently there are not many old grave markers in modern cemeteries. The cemeteries that we have visited are lovingly maintained with beautiful flowers. Herrnsheim's cemetery was no exception. We did not find any Göhle graves. There were a few new graves for Harbauers and the Arnold and Bardong names were very common. The only older tombstones were for former burgermeisters. There were also a few older markers for fallen soldiers - including one for Bardong and one for Harbauer.
• There were several listings for Harbauer in the Worms phone book for 2007.
• The church records were recorded in Latin and the civil records were recorded in German. The church records were recorded in the Catholic Parish Church of St Peter in Herrnsheim. The records for Herrnsheim were (more or less) written in Latin. The spelling of the names varied depending, I think, on the whim or the person recording the event. "in" was added to most female surnames, but not all. Endings for male names varied with "us", "i", "o" being most common. However, in the case of Jo(h)ann it sometimes ended with "e". Most female names ended with "a".
