There are too many (at least 5...) Mathias Brigels in Rudersberg in 1600, and I'm pretty sure the church compiled family registers have them mixed up. But I'm confusing myself trying to explain why. 😵💫😵💫😵💫 #genealogy

Based on the traffic jam around my house, I think every student at the elementary school across the street is arriving in a separate car today. No parking and walking half a block in the rain either.

Between 1570 and 1615, there are 5 church records with the surname Bissinger in Rudersberg, Württemberg - all relatives of a Vincenz Bissinger. So is "Zyntheß" (Fyntheß??) a really weird spelling of Vincent? 🤔 Or do I keep trying to read this funky handwriting? 🤣 #genealogy

The weird thing about this set is that people who grew up with the Lion King and Toy Story have probably never seen a TV like this.

I know someone here knows the answer to this question—when not-feeding a gremlin after midnight, at what time does it cease to be after midnight and become safe? 5 AM? Daybreak? Noon?
