Notes

  • The child’s name is not in this crop; read it on the full image.
  • Mother aged 36 in Feb 1792 and 38 in July 1795: consistent.
  • Johann Heinrich Waßmann stands godfather to Johann Christoph’s daughter, so he belongs to the Linse Waßmann household. Probably not the miller (see Bild 146).
  • Recapture: the inventory already holds a file of this name. Compare before merging.
