234 years ago, 13 June 1786, in Pleidelsheim, Württemberg, my great great great grandmother, Christina Regina Bauer was born to Gotthardt Bauer. and Regina Wolf.  Regina married Alexander Gaertner on 24 November 1813 in Klein Ingersheim, Württemberg.

The couple were the parents of 12 children: Johann David (1815), Christina Regina (1816-1819), Maria Magdalena (1818), Johann Friderich (1819), Baby Girl (1821-1821), Alexander (1822), Johann Michael (1824), Baby Girl (1825-1825), Johanna Regina (1827), Baby Boy (1830-1830), Christina Regina (1831), and Wilhelm Gotthardt (1833) [my great great grandfather and my most recent immigrant ancestor).

All of the information I have on the family in Württemberg comes from church records that were microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints for which I am extremely grateful.
