NOTES: I have seen an online tree showing the father of Johann Velten to be Ferdinandus Schulte baptized 5 Dec 1677 in a catholic church in Coesfeld. Coesfeld is about 250 miles from Froeschen. Our ancestor was a member of the Evangelich Church, not Catholic. This identification without evidence seems highly doubtful.
However, there is a different Ferdinandus Schultz who had baptized Johann Valentin Schultz on 10 Oct 1706 in the Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche, Dackenheim, Bayern, Germany. Dackenheim is about 50 miles from Froeschen. That is not outside the realm of possibility, but we have no corroborating evidence that this is the same person. The record can be found at familysearch.org.
