Notes

> Ernst Wasmann is a name that appears nowhere else in this batch and nowhere in the project. He was dead before May 1714 and his household was at Dohnsen. > > The marginal annotation is in a later hand and records the child’s death sixty years on. See the note on marginalia in the analysis; this volume was still being worked as a reference register in the 1770s to 1790s. > > The child’s forename is read as Engel, a normal Lower Saxon name, but Ingel and Tugel are both possible at this resolution.
