Subject: Schwald lineage
It is true that you and Dieter Scfwald of Malsburg are related. However,information that Hanno sent me failed to make the connection. Dieter'slineage went back 4 generations and then it hit a snag by omittinggenerations # 5 and #6 and then jumping to generation #7. The confusionmay have been caused by the fact that Gustav Schwald of generation #4 wasillegitimate and was born as Gustav Homberger, not as Gustav Schwald. Inthe event that this confusion has not already been clarified, I submitthe following:
#4 Generation: Gustav Schwald (born as Gustav Homberger) was born in Wieson February 15, 1861, to Maria Barbara Homberger, a single woman. Gustavmarried Carolina Spohn in Wies on May 21, 1885. They had a son, Wilhelm,born in Wies on January 7, 1887. Carolina was born in Wies on October 3,1860, to Wilhelm Spohn and Maria Katharina Grässlin.
#5 Generation: Johann Georg Schwald was born in Wies on July 19, 1836, toFriedrich (Fritz) Schwald and Anna Maria Flatt. Johann Georg marriedMaria Barbara Homberger in Wies on November 14, 1861. They had a son,Gustav, on February 15, 1861, out of wedlock. Maria Barbara was born inWies on November 3, 1837, to Georg Friedrich Homberger and Anna MariaSchlageter(?).
#6 Generation: Friedrich (Fritz) Schwald was born in Fischenberg onDecember 1, 1809, to Friedrich (Fritz) Schwald and Anna BarbaraHomberger. Friedrich married Anna Maria Flatt in Wies on September 9,1833. They had a son, Johann Georg, in Wies on July 19, 1836. Anna MariaFlatt was a widow of Johann Lenzin of Wies, who died on August 16, 1831.
#7 Generation: Friedrich (Fritz) Schwald was born in Fischenberg onSeptember 13, 1772, to Johann Georg Schwald and Anna Maria Wagner.Friedrich married Anna Barbara Homberger in Wies on February 17, 1801.They had a son, Friedrich,. in Fischenberg on December 1, 1809.
This means that Friedrich (Fritz) Schwald and Anna Barbara Homberger arethe common ancestors of you and Dieter.
As it turns out, there were three missing generations rather than two, asstated in Hanno's E-mail.
The foregoing information was obtained from Mormon Micro-films 1189731,1189732, and 1189733.

In Dieter's line, the wife of Friedrich Schwald (1809) was definitely(repeat, definitely) shown in the marriage record in 1833 as Anna MariaFlatt (not Flad) of Wies. In later years, the name Flad is commonallyfound in the Malsburg records. It appears that the spelling of the namemay have gradually permuted from Flatt to Flad. Another possibility(although I seriously doubt it) is that there were two distinct familieswith similar names.
Note: Anna Maria Flatt was born on August 17, 1810 in Wies. When shemarried Friedrich in 1833, she was a widow. Her first husband, JohannesBürgin, died in Wies on August 16, 1831.
