I traced my lines back to several families who married several crossed lines in Partenstein, Germany: Neuf, Imholf, Breitenbach, Merhlich, Born and Steigerwald since the 1500.When I started my search for Neuf Family I was told that there were 2 Neuf lines in the town. When I finished I had connected the two back to the same ancestor...as such there is only one Neuf line in Partenstein. While I have not done the same research for the other lines in a town that was less than 1000 people for most of its existence sine the 1500 there is a great chance they are all related. The surnames listed above are all in existence today and all are married in and out of the Neuf family tree.
As such, I am looking to make more connection to the tree with the person I already have. Some issues i found are that in many instances the first name is Johann, but often used the middle name since it was tradition to name the first son Johann. I found similar issues with some of the women's names and have listed the full names that where provided by the towns church records
