Hi,
Just maybe we have a linkage.According to what I was provided by a new found friend who is researching the Bobenthal cemetary, My Great Grandfather Johannes Jacob Weiss married Catharina LaGasse,Catharina (possibly Katharina) had been married to Joseph Kiefer who died in 1864.That marriage to Joseph Kiefer resulted in 3 children (Karl who was born 4 December 1860 - I think he is buried in the Bobenthal cemetery), Peter born 4 Jun 1862 and Magdalena born 4 May 63.As mentioned above, Joseph died in 1864 - Catharina married Johannes Jacob Weiss on 10 Jun 1866 in Weingarten, Baden.They had 4 children - Regina on 29 Aug 1866, Johannes Georg on 9 August 1867, Christian (my Great Grandfather on 22 Nov 1971) and Ludwig on 10 Jul 1874.
If you haven't done so already, google Bobenthal and click on the cemetery - you may find names there you recognize.
Would love to compare notes.I am going there later this month.If you don't have it, my e mail is [email protected] -I live in Northern Virginia.
