Not so fast, here is what I think is going on:

There is a small place in the Rheinland-Palatinate called Pirmasens (see
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirmasens)

You have " Pirmasens Evaneliscue und Militär": I think this might
possibly be corrected to:

"Pirmasens Evangelische und Militär"[-kirche]" which would mean: the
"Protestant (well, Evangelical, but Lutherans call themselves
Evangelical in Germany) and Military Church of Pirmasens"

Hope this helps.

Jeff,

Unfortunately I do not have the original. I was reviewing my records
and I
found this phrase under a marriage and it didn't make sense to me. The

notation that I made on it was that it was from a German IGI p. 222343.
This work
was done so long ago that I don't recall where I viewed that German
IGI. I
do have proof that the marriage actually did take place in the Lemberg
Reformed Church, Pfalz, Bayern in 1733. So I think I will just erase
that message
since it evidently has no substance.

Thanks for your reply and your offer to help. I do appreciate it.

Pirma is a place name in Saxony. "und Militär" means "and military".
The
rest of the phrase doesn't make any sense (I live here in Gemany and am
fluent in German.)

I think you have a faulty transcription as far as the second word is
concerned. If you have the original document, please send me a pdf.file
of it so I can see what it really says.

Is there someone on this list that could please translate this phrase
for
me?

Pirmasens Evaneliscue und Militar

I found "und Militar" in my German American Dictionary as "and
Miliary".

I could not find Pirmasens Evaneliscue listed in Ernest Thode's German
-
English Genealogical Dictionary.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks, Janet
