Notes


Note for:   Christoffel Schwapp,    -
Married to at least three different wives, of which Margaret was apparently the
first.

Notes


Note for:   Hans Beyck,    - BEF 1726
We have very little direct information about Hans. The church books of
Bischofsheim do not have any record of his death, birth or marriage. However
the books do record the marriages of two children, Georg and Margretha, who
were noted to be his children. Also, there is a death record of Catharina who
is noted to be Hans Beyck's widow. We also do not know where Hans came from;
the marriage record of his son Martin seem to indicate that he came from
Durlach, near Karlsruhe, but I have been unable to find any information
whatever that shows the Beycks lived in Durlach for any length of time. Our
Beik relatives in Rheinbischofsheim have found that there are Beiks living in
the Alsace region of France, so perhaps the family came from there in the
distant past.
I've not found his death record but he was noted to be deceased when his son
Georg and daughter Margretha married in 1724 and 1725.

Notes


Note for:   Catharina ,   ABT 1650 - 10 JAN 1725/26
All we know about Catharina in contained in a brief death note in the
Bischofsheim church book. It says only that she was Hans Beike's surviving
widow and she was 75 at the time of her death. We don't really know if she was
the mother of Hans' children or if she was his first or a subsequent wife.

Notes


Note for:   Georg Beyck,    -
This Georg is the ancestor of the Beiks now living in Rheinbischofsheim.
