This new strip of the Metropolitan was planned last summer by its originator, Conselman, formerly of the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Times.

Titel	Tailfinger Familien, mit Schwerpunkt Conzelmann
Beschreibung	- Update vom 29.April 2024 die Familien von Tailfingen – auf der Schwäbischen Alb -   ab 1640 bis 1896 u. tw. bis ins 20. Jh.                    -  mit integrierter "Conzelmann Familie" - ab 1540 bis ins 20. Jh - Am Anfang wollte ich lediglich das Familienbuch  „Die Sippe Conzelmann“ digitalisieren.  Schnell stellte es sich aber heraus, dass es sehr interessant ist, über den „Buchrand“ hinauszuschauen und die weiteren Entwicklungen der in die verschiedensten Teile der Welt ausgewanderten „Conzelmänner/frauen“ zu erforschen. Diese leben im Schwerpunkt zwar immer noch im süddeutschen Raum, sind aber zwischenzeitlich in ganz Deutschland, USA, Kanada, Polen, Ukraine, Rumänien (Bukowina/Galizien), Schweiz, Frankreich, Australien und Süd-Amerika angesiedelt. Daneben versuche ich auch weitere verwandte Namen-Vorkommen in Süd-Deutschland, Baden, Elsass und an der Mosel zu erforschen um evtl. Verbindungen zu finden ------------------ Mit einer solchen Chronik wollte ich eine möglichst zusammenhängende, möglichst umfassende, räumlich nicht begrenzte Datenbank erschaffen, und zwar aller "Conzelmann" Linien inclusive der im Laufe der Jahrhunderte entstandenen Namensänderungen wie     Kuntzelmann, Kontzelmann, Contzelmann, Konzelmann, Kunzelmann u.a.     in USA - Conzelman, Konzelman, Kunzelman, Councilman, Concelman u.a Es ist natürlich klar, dass diese Chronik aufgrund der starken Verzweigung und enormen räumlichen Ausbreitung der Familie nie vollständig sein kann. Quellen:  ein erheblicher Teil der Basis-Daten sind dem Buch " Die Sippe Conzelmann" entnommen (Kennzeichnung = CB ) mittlerweile mit vielen Verifizierungen sowie Ergänzungen und Korrekturen anhand der verfilmten Original-Dokumente, Kopien von Kirchenbüchern, Erbteilungen usw. Durch die ursprünglich nicht geplante   Ausweitung der Datenbank zu verschwägerten Familien   hat sich das Ganze etwas verselbständigt und mittlerweile arbeite ich an einer kompletten Erfassung der Familien -Register Tailfingen. Also, vom Ur-Fam.Reg. ab 1640 bis zu Band 19/III = Heiraten bis 1896. Aber auch neuere, mir vorliegende Register aus dem 20 Jh. sind/werden tw. integriert. Derzeitiger Erfassungsstand: UrFR + Bd. I komplett, Bd.II zu 90%, Teile des Bd.III + weiterf. FR sind punktuell ausgewertet.                   Sukzessive entsteht damit ein OFB Tailfingen                                          -------------------- Bei einzelnen Familien-Linien sind allerdings auch private Interessen berücksichtigt, so dass diese auch in andere regionale Gebiete hineinreichen. Manchmal sind auch andere Familienzweige ebenfalls über Generationen zurückverfolgt in umliegende Orte wie Truchtelfingen, Ebingen, Bitz, Onstmettingen, Pfeffingen u.a., weil durch die räumliche Nähe natürlich enge familiäre Verflechtungen nicht ausbleiben. Hinweis zum CB und auch den nachträglich erstellten Ur-Fam.Reg. Tailfingen: es ist vollkommen klar, dass auch den Verfassern dieses Buches/bzw. des Ur-Fam.Reg. Tippfehler, Zahlendreher, Datumsfehler aber auch Zuordnungsfehler bei Personen passiert sind. Bei der Menge an gleichnamigen Personen kann das leicht geschehen. Neue, intensive, gezielte Analysen der Kirchenbücher haben deshalb in Einzelfällen zu familiären Verschiebungen gegenüber dem CB, aber auch Ur-Fam.Reg.  geführt. Diese Änderungen habe ich aber in dieser DB bei der jeweiligen Person möglichst klar unter Bezug auf das CB o. Ur-Fam.Reg. dokumentiert. Auch bei reinen Datenänderungen ist in den Notizen meistens ein Hinweis.  ein Kürzel nach den Nachnamen dient der schnelleren Navigation:     ° nach dem Fam. Namen bedeutet    - als Kind o. jung gestorben (bis ca. 20 J.) nicht verheiratet- ohne Nachkommen;   ·         aber bitte beachten:  dadurch wird der Familienname "quasi" verändert und deshalb in den GEDBAS Suchlisten anders, meistens am Schluss, einsortiert. In den Personen-Blättern sowie Vorfahren/Nachkommen-Übersichten stimmt natürlich die Zuordnung.     CB = Verweis auf Buch "Die Sippe Conzelmann"     Familien Namen sind oft vereinheitlicht, wie "Bizer =Bitzer", "Mertz =Merz", "Mauthe, Mauthin =Maute", u.a.     manchmal sind die urspr. Namen als Variante hinterlegt. Aber die Schreibweisen in den Quellen wechseln oft sehr willkürlich. ------------------------------- -  Bei dieser Menge an manuell erfassten Daten können Fehler, auch Verwechslungen, nicht ausbleiben.  -  Deshalb würde es mich wirklich sehr freuen, wenn Sie mir weiterführende Daten oder Korrekturen /Ergänzungen mitteilen, damit ich meine Datei aktualisieren, vervollständigen bzw. korrigieren kann.  -  Speziell neue Infos bzw. weiterführende Daten zu Personen die Ende des 19. Jh. (ca. nach 1890), bzw. im 20. oder sogar im 21 Jh. geboren wurden wären interessant, da die Daten dieser Personen kaum zugänglich sind.    -  Sofern es sich allerdings um noch lebende Personen handelt, würden diese Angaben natürlich aus Datenschutzgründen nicht veröffentlicht. -  Ich bin, im Rahmen meiner Möglichkeiten, auch gerne bereit Auskünfte zu Quellen, Personen und Zusammenhängen zu geben. Allerdings ist fast mein gesamtes Wissen zu Personen hier bereits detailliert veröffentlicht. Der Autor übernimmt keine Haftung für den Inhalt der veröffentlichten Daten, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Richtigkeit, Aktualität und Vollständigkeit der zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen. Die Geltendmachung von Ansprüchen jeglicher Art ist ausgeschlossen. Sämtliche Daten dürfen keinesfalls für gewerbliche Zwecke verwendet werden - außer es sei mit mir abgesprochen.
