Translation (English)
No. 27. Heinrich Ludwig Alwes, born 19 November, baptized 21 November 1801. Godfather Master Westermann/Wesemann, the child's maternal grandfather.
Notes
Paul reads Wesemann. If Wesemann, the grandfather can only be the Linse miller, whose children at Halle 1774–1789 include no Sophie Dorothea Christine. Equal-tier conflict: the Alwes marriage, about 1800–1801 (M5.1), decides it.
Conventions
[ ] editorial addition or expansion; [?] uncertain reading; [...] illegible or outside the crop. Spelling follows the register.
