We have already studied the wives' ancestors of Gottlieb Schochenmaier (ab. 1828) and those of Ludwig Schochenmaier (ab. 1830). Today, it's turn of Christian Schochenmaier (ab. 1833). He is my 4th great grand uncle.
I'm sure our American and Canadian Schochenmaiers will be very interested in this subject for they all are descendants of Christian whose two oldest sons Michael Schochenmaier (1859) and Jacob (1861) had left for the New World in 1887 and 1886 respectively.
But, on the one hand, I must confess that I will disappoint you as there isn't any new information for today, or, on the other hand, it might be exciting to get to know that Christian (1833) married Margaretha Korb (born on the 5th October 1836) who had been the younger sister of Elisabeth Korb (born on the 15th August 1834) - wife of his elder brother Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1828). On Elisabeth Korb I wrote the very first post about the ancestors of the Schochenmaiers' wives (click on Gottlieb Schochenmaier in the first line of this posting). Christian and Margaretha married on the 25th November 1858.
What does it mean? Not only Gottlieb (1828) and Christian (1833) were brothers, but their wives Elisabeth (1834) and Margaretha (1836) were sisters, too. I mean by that that we're related not only paternally but maternally as well. So, my congratulations, my dear remote relatives in the U.S. and Canada, we're more related than it was previously thought. Ta-dam!!!!
What do we know about Margaretha Korb? Actually, it's the same what we got to know about Elisabeth:
Her parents were Heinrich Korb (1809 - ????) and Christina Schneck (1817-1901). Heinrich Korb is to be found among the first newborn babies of "Russian" Rohrbach in year 1809!!! His parents were Heinrich Korb (1777-1836) and Salomea Elisabetha (maid name unknown, abt. 1790-1851). They came to Russia from Gersbach, today's part of Pirmasens.
Pirmasens is an independent town in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, near the border with France. It is famous for the manufacture of shoes. You can see it on the map:
Wow, it's almost the same area))) It's in 40 km from Brücken where the first wife of Gottlieb Schochenmaier had been born.
Now, I understand why it's only 40 km))) Maybe there was no 40 km at all, it's just different levels of records in the archives, but the same area. It's important to notice that the family line of the Korbs can be traced back up to Johann Jacob Korb born in 1625 at the same area!
As there is nothing new, I'd like just to make a zoom on the family of the Korbs.
Margaretha had had two brothers and four sisters. On the Ancestry, you may find the aunt (from the maternal side) of Margaretha - Elizabeth Eberhardine Schneck (1805, Oberriexingen/Ludwigsburg - 1880, Jackson county, Ohio):
Just think of it, this lady belongs to the generation of our common forebear Gottlieb Schochenmaier (ab. 1800)!!! She moved to the United States with some of her children.
You also can find one of the Margaretha's cousins (from her paternal side): Gottlieb Korb (1840, Rohrbach - 1920, Odessa).
He stayed in Russia.
Different lives, different times. Just amazing!
So, I'd like to stress one more time: The descendants of Gottlieb Schochenmaier /ab. 1828/ (divided between Germany and Russia) and the descendants of Christian Schochenmaier /ab. 1833/ (divided between Canada and USA) are related not only paternally but maternally as well. So, I congratulate you with such an amazing discovery!!! We're more related than it was previously thought.
