Translation (English)

Born 15, baptized 19 January [1783]: Engel Dorothea Justine [Louise?]. Father Johan Heinrich Richman of Ahrenfeld; mother Catharina Maria Grünewald. Godparents: 1. Engel Dorothea Huckhusen[?]; 2. Maria Sophie Kehlen[?]; 3. Johan Jürgen Richman; 4. Christian Ludewig Söffie[?].

Notes

Same parents as Johann Friedrich Christian Rickmann, born 15 May 1777 (Bild 52; D183).

Against the identity: she would be 17 at the baptism of Conrad's first child (October 1800); four forenames, not two; no marriage at Oldendorf, her home parish, 1765–1803.

Bild 60 (births 1782) and the rest of Bild 61 (to about April 1783) hold no other Richman entry. To check on the image: the middle forenames and the godparents.

Grade: Stated (draft reading); identity with Dorothea Louise Rickmann possible.

Conventions

[ ] editorial addition or expansion; [?] uncertain reading; [...] or […] illegible or outside the crop; [sic] as written. Spelling, capitals and abbreviations follow the register. Draft reading, not yet checked against the image by a second person unless noted.

Notes

Bild 61 of 307, left page, heading read as "1782 1783" (not zoomed), no. 15. The "15" stands in the entry-number position and "19 Jan" follows it; no separate birth-date column was seen, so a birth on 15 January is not shown by the page (equal-tier conflict with the earlier reading; Also on the page (not pursued): "22/26 Jan. Anna Charlotte [Henriette?] ... Vater Johan Jost Brand [...], Mutter Anna Dorothea Temmen", with a sponsor "mutter Schreibers". Grade: STATED for father, mother, place, date and sponsor 3; POSSIBLE for the other surnames.

Born 15 January, baptized 19 January 1783: Engel Dorothea Justine Luise, daughter of Johan Heinrich Richman of Ahrenfeld and Catharina Maria Grünewald.

Notes

The 1783 margin carries a birth column and a baptism column (the neighbours 17|19 and 22|26 January), so "15" is the birth day. Grade: STATED.
