German

English

Notes
> The child takes the godfather’s full double forename, Hanß Herman. That is the clerk’s own signal that this godfather is the principal sponsor. > > The clerk writes the village as Doer=/Dohr-sen here and in most Kurrent entries in this volume. The 1734 marriage on Bild 187, written in a Latin hand, spells it Dohnsen plainly. Treated throughout as one place; the equivalence is an inference, not a stated reading. > > Hanß Herman Wasman and the Herman Wasman of Bild 5 may be the same man under a fuller form of the name.
