ANALYSIS OF THE NAME MESSMER IN
SOUFFLENHEIM
By Mark Drexler July, 2006
I have recently done a study to
clarify the MESSMER surname that we occasionally find in the Soufflenheim
records. For most of us, I'm sure, this spelling has long been regarded as
an error and has been "corrected" to MESSNER at every opportunity. It is
not an error. MESSMER was a family distinct from MESSNER in Soufflenheim.
For some time I have felt that the MESSMER spelling in the Soufflenheim
records was intentional, largely because of its clear segregation from MESSNER
in a portion of the "Ten-Year Tables". Also significant to me was that the
name MESSMER was very often written by a fellow having the name MESSNER...and he
would surely have spelled his own surname consistently. Additionally,
emigrant Vincent Messmer can be found buried in Maryhill (Ontario) under the
name MESMER. All of the North American records and transcriptions I have
seen that apply to Vincent and his descendants -- writings not done by us
latter-day Soufflenheim researchers or by the abominable census-takers -- have
used the spelling MESMER or MESSMER. I recently stumbled into Vincent's
ancestry while working from the "other end", exploring descendant lines from
earlier Soufflenheimers, and realized that the early records also consistently
used the MESSMER spelling.
It seems that Vincent's MESSMER clan in
Soufflenheim was relatively small and late-arriving. The earliest record
is that of the 12 November 1746 marriage of Michel MESSMER to Salome
Metzler. The surname spelling is very clear. Michel was said to have
originated in Surbourg and his parents were identified as Petri Messmer and Anna
Maria Uler (neither of his parent's surnames is "native" to Soufflenheim).
Michel and Salome's son Francois Joseph was baptized 25 March 1761, and the
surname was spelled MESMER. Salome died and Michel married Barbe
Stabler...and their child's baptism record (10 September 1765) uses what appears
to be the spelling MOESMER. Then we have the 15 January 1788 marriage of
Joseph, son of Michel and Salome, to Margaretha Buchmuller...and the spelling is
clearly MESSMER. Joseph and Margaretha's son "Vincentius" was baptized on 1
Pluviose yr 12 (22 January 1804) and the surname was MESSMER. Joseph's
death record of 22 December 1831 exhibits both MESMER and MESSMER. The 2
February 1833 marriage record of Vincent Messmer and Marie Anne Rund was again
clear in its spelling of the surname. I would like to stress -- for those
familiar
with the horrible handwriting and skeptical about my use of the
term "clear" -- that MESSMER in the records is almost always easily
distinguishable from MESSNER.
The couples mentioned above, naturally,
had other children besides those noted. The baptism, birth, marriage, and
death records of these are almost all clear in their use of "M" rather than "N"
in the surname. A reasonable number of MESSNER records (in lines known to
be from the early MESSNER in Soufflenheim) were inspected and revealed no
instance of a mistaken writing of MESSMER. It is apparent from the records
that the Soufflenheim scribes realized there was a distinction to be made
between the surnames MESSMER and MESSNER. I did find some actual
errors...mostly in the transcriptions from the original records to the Ten-Year
Tables. One baptism record and one marriage record of "established" MESSMER
used the MESSNER spelling.
I think our "idealized" spelling
should be MESSMER, despite the obvious potential for mistaken identity.
Following Maryhill's example of MESMER encourages pronunciation with a "z" sound
as in "mesmerize"...which seems to be incorrect, considering the predominant use
of the double-s in the records.
