How to read this record
Every claim is tagged
Most family trees flatten everything into the same confident typeface. This one does not.
The three research tags below are the whole point of the exercise: they say what a document
proves, what the weight of evidence suggests, and what nobody has found yet. A fourth marks
what the family stated directly, where no document has been retrieved at all — it is kept
separate on purpose and is never quietly promoted to confirmed. A fifth, added on
13 September 2026, marks biological evidence: a DNA result is not a document, and it is not
testimony either. Two further labels mark where this page withholds information
rather than lacking it.
ConfirmedAttested by a document that was actually retrieved and read — a census sheet, a
government index, a grave marker, a family-written obituary.
ProbableStrongly supported but not nailed down: a user-contributed tree, a masked index field,
or a chain of consistent circumstances. Believable, not proven.
Not foundSearched for and not located. This is a statement about the search, not about the
person — the record may well exist somewhere unsearched.
Family testimonySupplied by the family and recorded on their word — no document has been retrieved for
it. Note the diamond rather than the dot: this is provenance, not proof, and it stands
apart from the three record tags above S24.
DNA evidenceBiological evidence consistent with a claim. It corroborates origins; it does
not by itself establish a person or a link. Note the bar rather than a dot or a diamond:
no DNA result on this page is ever counted as confirmed, because no document
was read for it S46.
Living — withheldThe person is living. By the privacy rule for this page, name and relationship are
shown, and at most a year the family has already published. Full dates of birth, ages,
places of residence and record identifiers are held back.
Research in progressA branch that is actively being worked on. The node exists in the structure so the
shape of the family is honest; the detail is simply not in yet.

Research status
Research status: PROBABLE. Eva, the surviving daughter of the late Jörg Kreber (or Kerber) of Groß-Allmerspann, married Hans Gronbach, son of Hans Gronbach of the same place, on
27 November 1649 S836; and in December 1652 an Anna Maria was baptised at Langenburg to Johannes Gronbach of Groß-Allmerspann and
Eva S837. Both read from the register images. What is weak: the 1676 marriage of Anna Maria names only her father
S805, so the link rests on the 1652 child being the 1676 bride (the same father, hamlet and given name). Added 29 September 2026
Evidence: Her 1649 marriage to Hans Gronbach of Groß-Allmerspann, as the surviving daughter of the late Jörg Kreber, and the December 1652 Langenburg baptism of Anna Maria to Johannes Gronbach and Eva; both read from the register images. Weak or missing: The 1676 marriage names only Anna Maria's father, so the link rests on the 1652 child being the 1676 bride; her death is not found; her 1631 baptism, which names her father Georg Kreber, is now read (S1077).

Record1712
The registers call her only Eva. The name “Elisabetha” and the death in 1712 that some online trees give her are not supported by any record read here; her 1631 baptism now is. Her death is not found

In the record
Generation 12 — Earl's earliest known
- S805Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers — Lendsiedel, marriages 1676 (image 1528571-00015): Hans Schuster and Anna Maria Gronbach, 29 February 1676. Ancestry record 914964776. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 27 September 2026. Probable Read at full resolution: "d. 29. febr. sind copulirt worden Hannß Schüst[er] bey undern Schmerach … u. Anna Maria, Hannß Gronbachs deß jüngern, [Bauers] zu großen Allmerspann, ehelich ledige Tochter": Hans Schuster of Unter-Schmerach married Anna Maria, the single daughter of Hans Gronbach the younger, a farmer at Groß-Allmerspann. The same hamlet as Elisabetha's 1736 burial (“born Schuster of Unter-Schmerach”, S608) and the same parish as her 1678 baptism, which calls her mother simply Maria (S609). A margin insertion probably names the groom's late father as Michel Schuster, a farmer at a place beginning with K; that reading is tentative; the site gives it as Probable, accepted by Earl on 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. A crop of the entry is in documents/schuster. Collection: Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500–1985.
- S836Langenburg marriage register, p. 536 — Hans Gronbach and Eva Kreber (Kerber), 27 November 1649. Ancestry record 914633326 (image 1528570-00508). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Probable “Hanß Gronbach, Hansen Gronbachs [wirts?] zu großen Allmerspach fil. legit. und Eva, Jörg Krebers [or Kerbers] zu großen Allmerspach filia relicta”: Hans Gronbach, son of Hans Gronbach of Groß-Allmerspann, married Eva, the surviving daughter of the late Jörg Kreber of Groß-Allmerspann. Read at full resolution. The surname can be read Kreber or Kerber. The register calls her only Eva. Collection: Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers.
- S837Langenburg baptism register, p. 348, line 13 — Anna Maria, daughter of Johannes Gronbach and Eva, December 1652. Image 1528570-00417. Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Probable “Johannes Gronbach zu Großallmerspach | Eva | Anna Maria”. The same father, hamlet and given name as the Anna Maria, daughter of Hans Gronbach the younger of Groß-Allmerspann, who married Hans Schuster in 1676 (S805), who would then have been 23. No document names Eva as the 1676 bride's mother. Collection: Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Parish Registers.
- S1077Langenburg baptism register, 1631, vol. 12 p. 294 — Eva, daughter of Georg Kreber of Groß-Allmerspach and Maria, 22 November 1631. Ancestry record 164631360 (image 1528570-00392). Image examined, read 30 September 2026. Confirmed Kindsvatter “Georg Kreber von grossen Almerspach”; Mutter “Maria”; Kind “Eva”; Gevatter “Eva Georg Gerbnerin”; 1631, 22 [November]. The same girl who married Hans Gronbach in 1649 as the daughter of the late Jörg Kreber of Groß-Allmerspann [S836]: one hamlet, one father’s name in two spellings, and a bride of eighteen. FamilySearch indexes this entry as QPP2-K9DL; the same search surfaced an Eva Elisabetha Kreber christened at Hall in 1756 to Georg Peter Kreber and Maria Susanna Woeller (N882-2WY), an unrelated family that explains the “Peter” and “Elisabetha” in online trees.
