  • The page containing this marriage record
  • I first found this record in the Hull-Brummer Family Tree by pubdog0001 on Ancestry.com (Thank you!)

The key information from this document is:

• Location: St. Boniface Catholic Church in Buffalo, New York
• Date: 18-Nov-1851, which is obtained from:
  • The day of the month, 18, appears in the left margin
  • The month, "Mense Novembri" ("Month of November"), appears four entries earlier on the same page
  • The year, 1851, precedes the first record in January, seven pages earlier
  • The following year, 1852, is written at the beginning of the following January, two pages later
• Groom: Joannes (John) Hohlfelder
  • Son of Conrad Hohlfelder and Anna Gürtel
  • from Zochenreuth in Bavaria
• Bride: Francisca (Frances) Fürst Schlemeier
  • Her maiden name Fürst has been crossed out, and changed to Schlemeier, which is her first married name
  • She is a widow ("vidua")
  • Daughter of Joseph Fürst and Francisca Fürst
    • At least one genealogist has identified "Klein" as the mother's surname. However, I believe "Klein" is part of the town name.
    • Interpreting this marriage record literally, Francisca's maiden name is Fürst, the same as her married name.
  • from Kleinalbstadt in Bavaria
    • I cannot identify a town with this name. However, there is a Kleinwallstadt in the Miltenberg district of Bavaria. Kleinwallstadt is directly across the Main River from Grosswallstadt, original home of the Hock family.
• Witnesses:
  • Bernarda Henry Hartke
  • George Neuner
