Today we remember Anna Maria Heuberger, who was baptized 262 years ago today in Schutterwald, Germany. Anna was my 5th Great Grandmother, the daughter of Johann and Catharina (Reinert) Heuberger. On 15 January 1787, 24-year-old Anna married 25-year-old Frans Josef Roser. The couple had at least one child (I suspect probably more, though I need to do some further investigation), Johann Jacob Roser, who was born 9 May 1796. Johann Roser would later marry Maria Heppler, and their daughter, Catherine Maria married Johan Demler and emigrated to America in 1864.
But back to Anna Maria Heuberger. She died 14 March 1814 at age 51; her husband had already been dead for nearly 8 years, dying 1 May 1806 at age 44. Interestingly, in looking at records on the Find a Grave website for Schutterwald, I discovered a Leo Heuberger (1904-1969) who was married to Helena Roser (1904-1995); both are buried at the Schutterwald cemetery. It seems fairly plausible these could be distant relations.
Most of the records on the Heuberger and Roser families come from the Deutschland, Baden, Erzbistum Freiburg, katholische Kirchenbücher, 1678-1930, available on the FamilySearch website. Unfortunately, only an index of the records is available online, rather than images of the records themselves. It does indicate the images can be viewed at a FamilySearch affiliate library. Time to investigate FamilySearch affiliate libraries, apparently…
