Schmaltz Family Genealogy
|
The Schmaltz family was Roman Catholic and lived in the region now known as Alsace-Lorraine. The line begins with Henri Schmaltz, born in 1649, and continues to the present day in France. My line ends with Anne Barbe Schmaltz, who died in 1737, and therefore my interest is in the earliest generations of the Schmaltz family. Descriptions of the towns of ancestors in the line follow. Scheibenhard is located in the province of Alsace in the region of Bas Rhin. It had a 1792 population of 651 persons; the current population is around 500. Schaidt (Shedes) is located seven miles east northeast of Wissembourg in the Palatinate (north of Alsace, France). Lauterbourg is located in the province of Alsace in the region of Bas Rhin. The town population in 1792 was 1,964. It has a present-day population of 2,372. Salmbach is located in the province of Alsace in the region of Bas Rhin. It had a population of 1,040 citizens in 1792. Its present population is under 500. The surname Schmaltz is derived from the Middle High German smalz meaning tallow, grease, or fat--and hence a metonymic occupational name for a chandler (candlemaker). The surname Gabriel is derived from the Hebrew personal name Gavriel, meaning "God has given me strength." The surname Hoffmann was a status name for a steward on a farm or estate and is derived from the German hoff, meaning manorfarm or courtyard + mann meaning man. Originally, this was a status name for a farmer who owned his own land (as opposed to holding it by rent or feudal obligation), but the name soon came to denote the manager or steward of a manor farm. No information on the origins of the surnames Schiessling or Boelles is available.
