Markus STRAUB Birth: 15 Apr 1778, Bieringen Father: Joseph STRAUB; Mother: Juditha HECK Marriage: 14 Jun 1808, Katholisch, Bieringen, Schwarzwaldkreis, Wuerttemberg Spouse: Agatha TRUFNER Birth: 18 Jan 1782, Bieringen Father: Wunibald TRUFNER; Mother: Clara STAEHLE Source: Kirchenbuch, 1701-1878, Katholische Kirche Bieringen (OA.Horb)

Joseph and Juditha are too old to be Markus's parents — they are, in fact, his paternal grandparents. Nor can the marriage year be correct as they had a child baptized 16 months earlier. How did these errors creep into the IGI database?  The film need to be re-examined.

2 males	15-19	1820-1825	= Conrad (b. 1821) = Joseph (b. 1819)
1 male	60-69	1770-1780	= Markus (b. 1778)
1 female	10-14	1825-1830	= Agatha (b. 1824)
1 female	50-59	1780-1790	= Agatha (b. 1782)
1	person employed in manufactures and trades

His name is so clearly "Marquis" I cannot conceive how he was indexed "Blarquis."

Conrad was born in 1821, not age 21.  Saloma/Salome may be Margaret's widowed daughter.
