Baptism, 19 March [?] 1721, Hemmendorf

German (as read)

d\. 19 h. Martij ist des Corporals Cristian Wasmuths Tochter Ilsa Catrina getaufft. Gevattern sind Mstr. [?] Fr. u. Henrie Sandroth Frau

English

On 19 March, Ilsa Catrina, daughter of the corporal Cristian Wasmuth, was baptized. Godparents: the wife of Master [unread] and the wife of Henrie Sandroth.

Notes

Probably the mother of the 1739 child (D297): same forenames, same parish, a plausible age (18 in 1739). The clerk writes Wasmuth here and Waßmann in 1739 for what is probably one family. The father was a soldier; no other entry for him at Hemmendorf after 1700 in the index.

Grade: Stated for the entry; identity with the 1739 mother probable.

Addendum: F114. Registry row: D315. Book home: Chapter 2 (origin, Lead G).
