Match type: likely false positive — reads as "Wißmann," a documented separate family

German transcription: Vater: Löwig, [Anwohner/Einwohner] Wilh[elm] [?] zu Halle. Mutter: W(r)ißmann, Wilhelmine Johanna Barb[ara] [?], geboren zu [Halle?] am 31. Juli 185[4?]. Kind: Heinrich Wilhelm August. [Vormundschaftlicher Zeuge:] Johannes Lehmann[?] aus [?].

English translation: Father: Löwig, [resident/cottager] Wilhelm [?] of Halle. Mother: W(r)ißmann, Wilhelmine Johanna Barbara[?], born at [Halle?] on 31 July 185[4?]. Child: Heinrich Wilhelm August. [Guardianship witness:] Johannes Lehmann[?] of [?].

Note: the child's name (Heinrich Wilhelm August) is added here from the second half of this entry; the draft's transcription did not include it. On the surname: the draft hedged between "Wrißmann" and "Weißmann." What's visible here has no middle e (compare Find 2's "Wißemann," which does) — it reads closer to plain "Wißmann." This project's own Chapter 1 and Chapter 10 already document a Wißmann family at Bodenwerder and state plainly that Wesemann, Wasmann, Waßemann and Wißmann are separate families never to be merged. This is a Halle entry, not the Bodenwerder one previously examined, so it isn't automatically the same household — but given the established rule, the more likely reading is that this is the other family, not a Wesemann-variant hit. Flagging rather than dropping it, since "same surname, different town" is a real possibility worth a deliberate decision rather than a silent merge either way.
