Historical footnote of importance. The Rheinland-Palatinate is a long
way away (at least for Germans) from Bavaria. (Hey, on the autobahn it's
maybe two and a half hours at 90 mph plus...). But at different times
parts of the Rheinland-Palatinate belonged "administratively" to
Bavaria, which is why the IGI will have these kinds of references.
You will also find references to "Bavarian Palatinate" as well. All I
can suggest is going to Wikipedia to discover the complexities of the
history of "German lands" as the Germans themselves say.
Cheers,

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.

The

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.

Isn't Pirmasans [sp?] a town in Bavaria, [Bayern] the second word
"Evaneliscue" looks to me like a misspelling of "Evangeliche"
Evangelical or REFORMED church..... Possibly the Reformed Church of
Lemberg??
