Birth Record of Grandmother Elisabeth Schwebel 1897-1938

Grandmother Elisabeth Schwebel Feick's birth record was found the same way as grandfathers was...by going through the 1897 Reinheim, Hesse birth records, of the year 1897, one by one. It seems she was initially named Elise while future records all showed various versions of Elisabeth. There are many variations and diminutives of Elisabeth used in Germany, one being Elise. That should have occurred to me before now.
