FamilySearch's index of German Lutheran parish registers. Signed-in and browser-only — it refuses scripted requests. The index rows give the parish, the event date and the parents' names; the register page itself (parish, volume, film) is on each record's own ark page and was not read for these entries.

Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1971 Butzbach, 20 October 1833 Primary

For Wenzel Grenenger (1833–1911)

Wenzel Gruninger | Baptism 20 October 1833 | Butzbach, Friedberg, Grand Duchy of Hesse, Germany | Parents Johannes Gruninger, Maria Sophia

Cited on the person for his birthplace and parentage. The parents' given names match his NSW death registration exactly (13941/1911, father JOHN, mother SOPHIA), which is the discriminator that makes this the right Wenzel: Johannes anglicised to John, Maria Sophia shortened to Sophia. It also confirms the surname's German form, GRÜNINGER, of which GRENENGER is the Australian anglicisation, and settles the town — his brother James Ernest's 1886 naturalisation certificate said 'a native of Frankfort a/M Germany' because Frankfurt is the nearest city, 35 km south.
