The record
Image 110 (written pages 214–215, "1810") — priority hits only
Entry, full reading recovered — Priority 6 hit, MAJOR (Brand household head at Linse). Village: Linse. 3 October 1810 [a marginal "Nachtrag" (addendum/later insertion) note appears beside the date]. Father: Heinrich Christian Brand — a child born [sex not fully certain from the reading (?)]. Mother: Christine Grewe(?), of Lüdishausen(?) [uncertain (?)], alt 21 Jahr. Godparents: [a] Grewe, of Lüdishausen(?); Christian Brand, of Linse. Baptized 5 October. Godfather-namesake line: Heinrich Christian, with a much-later marginal note "†1847" (a death cross-reference added long after the original entry, in different ink/hand).
— This is the head-of-household confirmation the earlier Brand references were pointing toward: "Heinrich Christian Brand" is recorded as father, at Linse itself, with a second Brand ("Christian Brand," also of Linse) standing as godfather — the first time this surname is tied directly to Linse village rather than Halle, after five Halle-area Brand references (Images 100, 101, 103, 108). This is very likely connected to Priority 6's tracked household (Friedrich Wilhelm Brand/Caroline Louise Wesemann/Conrad Brand) and worth building into a family tree alongside the Halle-area Brands — the first names differ (Heinrich Christian, Christian, Conrad, Ludewig, Julius) which likely indicates siblings or cousins from one Brand family spread across Linse and Halle.
