Notes

• This is the whole entry. It gives the father three descriptions (Bürger, Brauer, Ackermann) and no mill.
• The note at the foot uses ‘der Küster’ for the sexton: on the same page the word is both a trade and the father’s surname.
• The godmother’s name is uncertain; the mother is not named.
• On whether this is the Kuventhal miller, see the research notes, section 3.
