On 17 April 1847, Christoph Trautwein, son of Georg Trautwein and Margarethe Trautwein, died, and on 19 April 1847 was buried at Ettlingen, Baden. Spouse was Christiane Luhm. [Baden, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1502-1985, Mikrofilm Sammlung, Familysearch.org, pages 2–3.] Another record gives the same burial date but a burial location as Helmsheim, Baden, but parish Heidelsehim. [Baden, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1502-1985, Mikrofilm Sammlung, Familysearch.org, pages 338–339.] Yet another gives his burial location as “Heldelsheim” with parents Georg Trautwein and Margaretha Plesch, and spouse Christiana Luhen.
