Do 19th C church records for Oelsberg, Rhein-Lahn-Kreis exist on-line?

Question

Or for neighbouring Nastätten? I believe they were formerly in the Rheingaukreis.

I can't find Oelsberg in the familysearch catalogue, I can find Nastätten, but they only hold it on microfilm and it is unindexed.

Answer 1

The Curchbooks of the evangelical church would be in the parish of

Ruppertshofen Oelsberg

• Taufregister 1817-1845, Trauregister 1818-1825, Beerdigungsregister 1817-1846, Konfirmandenregister 1817-1845
• Taufregister 1846-1875, Trauregister 1846-1875, Beerdigungsregister 1846-1875, Konfirmandenregister 1846-1875

They are online at Archion. If you give me some minutes I could have a quick look.

So I checked the births between 1835 and 1845, and the marriages from 1860 to 1875. There is no sign for anyone named Auer in this period of time. Sorry.

Answer 2

Danny is right; I checked also matricula, but they don't have a Catholic church.

The Rhein-Lahn-Kreis exist since 1969. From 1962 - 1969 Oelsberg belongs to the Loreleykreis; 1969 this Kreis was meged with the Unterlahnkreis to the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis.

Before 1962 the Loreleykreis was called Kreis Sankt Goarshausen since 1886. Between 1867 and 1886 it was the Unterlahnkreis.

From 1866 - 1945 this area belongs to the Province Hessen-Nassau of the Kingom/Free State Preußen. After  the WW II it belongs to the French occupation zone and from 1949 on to Rheinland-Pfalz.

Hi Dieter

Wilhelm's place of birth (ca 1840) on his second marriage record (in Australia) is Ölsberg, Nassau. Do you think I have it correct that this is actually Oelsberg currently in Rhein-Lahn-Kreis?

This seems like the best fit and it is also reasonably close geographically to the DNA connection I'm trying to find a paper trail for.

Yes Mark. It is the same location.
