Christian Ulrichs and Maria Scröder aus Sternberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

[Cloengaa]

Hello all,

sorry I am really bad at German.

I am looking for any information about my family the Ulrichs from Sternberg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

I am trying to find out more about one side of my Family Tree that seems to come from Sternberg.

The last found relative I have is a Johann Heinrich Ulrichs born 29th of july 1774 in Sternberg bu his parents Christian Ulrichs and Maria Scröder.

Johann marries Anna Elisabeth Prager 11th of january 1793.


I am really wanting to see how far back the Ulrichs family can go.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it very much.

Hi Christian,

Johann Heinrich Ulrich
Baptism: 1774-07-29

Parents:
- der Kleinschmidt (Gearsmith) - Christian Ulrich
- Maria Schroeder

Siblings:
- Anna Maria Ulrich, ~ 1777-08-25, Parents Schmied, Meister Johann Heinrich Ulrich & Anna Maria Schröder
- Anna Maria Ulrich, ~ 1779-01-03, Parents: Kleinschmied Johann Heinrich Ulrich & Anna Maria Schroeder
- Joachim Friederich Ulrich, ~ 1780-08-11, Parents: Kleinschmied, Meister Johann Heinrich Ulrich & Anna Maria Schröder
- Anna Elisabeth Ulrich, ~ 1783-03-15, Parents: Kleinschmiedmeister Johann Heinrich Ulrich & Anna Maria Schroeder

The fathers name in the 1774 baptism is just wrong. You may compare the godparents of all my mentioned baptisms and you'll find out, that they all belong together.

The marriage of Johann Heinrich Ulrich and Anna Maria Schröder was 1773-01-15 in Sternberg as well. He was a Bürger (citizen) and Kleinschmied (gearsmith). She was the daughter of the Schlachter (butcher) Joachim Schröder

He was most likely baptismed at 1751-12-19 in Sternberg.

I was not yet able to find Anna Maria Schröders baptism. I'm not sure if the yellow marked word from the marriage is the point of origin of her and her father... I'm not able to clearly transcribe it.


Anna Maria Ulrich, born Schroeder dies at 1789-10-14 as wife of the Kleinschmidt Ulrich. Her age is specified with "around 32". So she was most likely born around 1757

I would guess, that the father Johann Heinrich maried again Elisabeth Pragern in 1793 - he is noted as widdower.
And Johann Heinrich (senior you could say) and Elisabeth Pragern are the parents of your ancestor:

So the 1774 born Johann Heinrich is not directly related to you, but his parents are.... he is just a "half-broter" of your ancestor.
Anna Maria Schröder might not be that important to you after all as she is just the first (but not directlry related) wife of your ancestor.

Ulrich family in the "Volkszählung 1819" - his birh year is probably wrong (as usually in the 1819 VZ): https://www.ancestry.de/interactive/...1105?pid=93130


His death: https://www.ancestry.de/interactive/...72?pid=9397310

Hey Oli,

All the siblings you refer to. You write the parents is Johann Heinrich and Anna Maria Scröder…..but with the siblings birtyears should it not be parents Christian Ulrich and etc. ?

Hi Christian,


there is no Christian Ulrich. The name of the father in the 1774 birth entry is wrong.
The father of all children born between 1774 and 1804 is Johann Heinrich Ulrich.

It looks like this:

I'm not sure if the person 1772 dies is Johann August (widdower) or the widdow of Johann August. I'm not able to transcribe that clearly.
The books of Sternberg only start 1740 (baptisms), 1758 (marriage) and 1758 (death). So if Johann August and his wife are both from Sternberg this would be the end so far....
