My 6th Great-Grandparents' Graves.

 Gravestones in a heritage-protected cemetery.  XII 2025

Tracing the Roots - A Silent Echo from 1715

 Still standing after more than 300 years – the oldest preserved graves of my ancestors:

 They are listed as “No. 256/257” in my family tree – “…starting with 1 for me, 2 and 3 for my parents…” 257(!) in the 9th(!) generation. But our documented line …is reaching even further — into the future and the past… – across 14(!) generations.

 The oldest documented grave in our family lies in a historically protected cemetery, just beside the chapel on the hill – still preserved and officially listed as of 2009.

 This discovery marked the beginning of my research into our family history – on both my father’s and mother’s side – eventually tracing them back to the 1600s(!). It all began with the painstaking study of old handwritten church books. Later, I teamed up with an older great-cousin, Friedrich Ebert, who had already compiled extensive genealogical records and even hosted family reunions. He found the graves; I found the record lines.

 Our documented line now reaches even further – into both earlier and later generations, spanning 14 (!) generations. Only very few can trace their line back to before the Thirty Years’ War.
