Notes for Julius Christain Cöster: Death was given as 20 Jun 1790 in "Die Kasualien Der Reformierten Pfarrei Odenbach am Glan 1716 - 1798), by Günter F. Anthes.
The actual death record was found in the Odenbach reformed Church Death Registry; Date: 20 Jun 1790; Name: Julius Christian Cöster, age: 72, Schuldeiner". Birth was recorded in the reform Church Registry at Odernheim; Page: 227, No. 2; Date : 18 Oct 1707 Child's Name: Julius Christian; Father: Heinrich Köster; Mother: Maria Antonia; "mein und meiner Hausfrau"
Information received from Donald Coester of Pittsburgh, PA indicated that Johann Christian's father, Johann Heinrich, was was born in Meisenheim and was a Reform Minister at the church at Odernheim at the time of the birth of most of his children. Researching the LDS microfilm from Odernheim uncovered many of these records.
Since Heinrich was the minister at the church and the one making the entry into the records, he chose not to include last names, but simply entered the childs name as the child of "mine and my wife Maria Antonia". Sometimes he even neglecting to put his wife's name. Something seems to be wrong here. Julius Christian was just 17 when he married Maria Margaretha, who was just 14. This, and the confusion of Maria (Anna) Margaretha's name needs to be looked into.
