Hans Bernhard and Elisabeth (Schardt) Hausele and Family

Today I am finally at the end of the line of the Barnhisel/Bernhiesel/ Hausele family. I was told by the Hysell/Hisel Group that Hans Bernhard joined the Butcher's Guild in Kreuznach, Germany. Evidently, a rule of a journeyman was that he never reveal where he learned his trade. Thus, we descendants are deprived of where Hans was born and his parents' names and place of residence. His wife, Elisabeth Schardt's line is extended, however, and I'll be able to tell you about her parents and family in a future blog.

Hans and his family lived on the shady side of a main street in Kreuznach in order to keep his meats in the shade. Kreuznach is well known for its picturesque medieval bridge dating from around 1300 which has four bridge houses. (See Wikipedia's Bad Kreuznach bridge houses).

 Hans and Elizabeth's children have the combined names of Bernhard and Hausele in their surname, Bernthausel:
1638 Joseph
1642 Hanss Peter
1645 Margretha
1648 Appolonia
Jan 1651 Johann Martin, our ancestor
1651 Drusiana
1651 Johann Hartmann
1652 Elisabetha
1658 Johann Balthasar

Sources: Researcher and member of the Hysell/Hisel Group,  Connie Boyer's update on recent GERMAN material; From the Lutheran Parish Records and Bad Kreuznach town archives  giving details of Hans Bernhard Hausele's vital records and occupation, found by a professional genealogist, Frau Dr. Fink, in the Bad Kreuznach area of Rhineland, Germany, hired by the Hysell/Hisel Group; Connie Boyer, compiler of the B/B Family Lines, organized the recent material from Germany to fit the format she has used in her book. Hans Bernhard died:
January 2, 1670. In the letter from Pfarrer Lermen of Kirchenkreis an Nahe
Und Glan printed in the Spring, 1996 newsletter, we are told that Johann
Bernhard came to Kreuznach in 1638 and also a Sophia Schmeid came to Kreuznach
in 1638 and they married. Now Frau Dr. Fink suggests he married
Elisabetha Lang, a master butcher's daughter. This could be wife #2.
Johann died January 2, 1670 in his sleep (reference the same letter in
Spring 1996 from Lermen)  J.B. must have come to Kreuznach as a wandering
journeyman with the butcher's guild;  Research Notebook on Pg. 38, by researcher, Charlene Berneisel's copies-Hans Bernard Hausel died between 1673-75. Pg. 48 Charlene's copies, Connie Boyer's compilation: Hans Bernard is mentioned in "Beed- und Zinssbuchern" and Elisabeth is a widow in 1675 and 1689 in Kreuznach.
