Researching HINZ / ERDMANN Family in Wirsitz.

[-sd-]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am searching for my HINZ ancestors.
I have found the following in the Lobsens church records:

Gottfried HINZ oo 7 Nov 1841 Justine Augusta ERDMANN.
Residence: Radsitz. Religion: Lutheran.
The section of the record that may have contained the name
of the parents was illegible (= unleserlich).

I also found the record of the birth of two children recorded
at the Lobsens church:

Wilhelmine HINZ 18 Sep 1842
Julie HINZ 14 Jan 1845

I have been unable to locate the record for 6 other children
born in Posen:

Henrietta HINZ b. abt 1851
John HINZ b. 24 Nov 1852
Michael HINZ b. 3 May 1857
Auguste or Augusta HINZ b. 5 Jul 1860 (Maybe in Debenke)
and two other children whom I do not know their names -
probably born prior to 1851. One may be named Ludwig.
The family immigrated to the USA in 1862

If you have found any of these names in your research
I would be grateful if you would pass the information on to me.

I have the ship passenger list for Robert HINZ that was born
in Hohenwalde. I am almost positive that it is him. But his last
residence listed on the passenger list is a town that is definately
not Hohenwalde. I am having trouble making out the town.
Robert immigrated to Portage County, Wisconsin.
His destination is a place in Wisconsin, but I cannot make out
the name of that town either. Would anybody like to give it a try ?

Meaning of "Alias" in church record

We are researching a HINZ family in Wirsitz and have found
the following notation in the church records:

"Joannes, son of Joanne HINCZ alias Dramcarz and Eva, born 5/22/1782"

Can anyone tell me what the alias in this record means ?

The record is in Latin and we may not have teh Translation correct.
The record ist similar to what i have included below.

[1781] 22 May Natus est infani Filius ex Parent Cathol Joanne Hincz
Fabre alias Dramcarz et Eva LC [legit.coniug.] Supra Parochia qui
14 May curatu loci baptizatus est cui impositum hut Nom tu

Wyrzyscen et Marianna Cyzlorowa de Wyrzysk Catholica.
