The text of the marriage record of Johann (John) Veth and Elisabeth Reinhold, St. Louis, MO, 20 Jan 1951, states that his place of origin was Eselbach, Bavaria. She originated from Gerolsheim, Pfalz, Bavaria. I am still looking for his birth record. Johann was born presumably on 14 Apr 1819. Other researchers have confirmed that (Magdalena) Elisabeth Reinhold was the daughter of Christop Reinhold (b.29 July 1786) Gerolsheim, Bavaria, and Franziska Roesler (b.22 Sep 1797)Malkammer, Pfalz-Zweibrueken, Bavaria. Any further information on Johann Veth would be appreciated.
