Peter Limbach was born 6 Jan 1793 in Palmersheim, Euskirchen, Nord-Rhine, Germany, oldest of three known children born to Christian Limbach and Anna Margaretha Diedrich. He was baptized on 7 Jan 1793 at the Catholic Church (vol. F626 page 78).
Flamersheim and Palmersheim are in the lower right of the map.
"The church of Flamersheim can look back on a moving history characterized by numerous architechtural changes. Possibly in 1058, a flat-roofed three-aisled basilica with five yokes and an east choir was built. Representations of the church from the mid-19th century show the Romanesque choir, which had a Romanesque predecessor. The building, which until then had presumably owned only one ridge turret, received a tower over the western nave yoke around 1400, giving the western front the still existing view. In 1666, the roof of the church was destroyed by fire in 1671 and renewed in 1671." [As written].
On 13 May 1818 also in Palmersheim, Peter married Margaretha Thuringen, daughter of Johann Thuringen and Anna Langen,
