Tuttlingen is 40 miles south of Nagold.One goes right through my village of Hochdorf which is like a city district of Nagold, yet is a separate village still.Nagold Evangelical Church Records go back to 1560.Not many go back much further.I have done research in those records for ancestors of mine.
Johann is not a name as we know it.Johannes is a name as we know it. Johann was the Christian name of most males in the region we are discussing.In Hochdorf, I've never found any other baptismal name.There was always a calling name.This name was what everyone knew the child by.In fact it would have been rare for the Christian/baptismal name to have been used.If it had, then every male in the village would think he was the one to whom you had spoken.
Hans Jacob Rehm = Johann Jacob Rehm; however he is known as Jacob Rehm.
If you wish, we can discuss this further by e-mail.
