In researching my german and dutch relations, I have noticed so many with the same names or similar names in the same general area with the big difference being evangelistic or roman catholic.
My question is did they intermarry during the 16th through the 19th centuries or did they stick strickly to their religion? How important is the dioces or for example st. peters versus st. martin in trying to trace your ancestors in their mother land. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject.
I know that with the Jewish faith, the faith of the mother determines the faith of the children, how does it work with the evangelistic or roman catholic of that time frame?
I have been informed that my Glauberg/glauburg relations were Jewish, though He married a roman catholic here in america, yet they both came from the Netherlands, he possibly being from Amsterdam and she being born in schoterland.
She immigrated around 1850 and he immigrated in 1877.
so I am just wondering as to the importance of the religious role in determining who is an ancestor and who isn't.
