Johannes Mast 1706 family research and proof






















Research done on Feb 7, 2015 for the Johannes Mast and Anna Keller Family.
Results conclude that:
#1.  Johannes mother's name is Sabina Roteschauser.  It is often spelled Ritshauser but in the original records it appears most often (all that I saw) as Roteschauser.  She is from Scherzingen as well.
#2.  Hans Conrad is a son that was missing from the family.  These records have been extracted via the LDS Extraction Program and so once I located him in the system and connected him into the family, his LDS work showed as completed.  Adding him to the family was the only missing item.
#3.  Many of the children had name changes in Family Tree and these were done as seen on the extracted records.
#4.  30 historical records (extraction records) were then added to Family Tree so that this information reflects the records, and others researching will have that information at hand.
#5.  Two individuals in this family were merged with others by the same name.  Time to sort that out resulted in me keeping the christening dates and LDS ordinances with our family member.

Our family already had the parentage of Anna Keller as Hans Jakob Keller and Catharina Schwank. The christening record was then located for that event and the date added to my records and Family Tree.
