Be aware of the following:
"Johannes (Johanne is another spelling that has been found)"
Only one of these names is the right one.
Johannes would be a son, Johanne would be a daughter.
Johann and Johannes are names for males.
Johanne, Johanna are names for females.
Did you look at LDS for microfilms of the parish records of
Ebershardt and Nagold? Try
http://www.familysearch.org/
Did you ask at the churches of Ebershardt and Nagold in which
archives the parish records of that time could be now? Did you ask
at that archives? (If you are not successful with LDS)
