Translation (English)
Two Küster millers as godfathers, Dec 1742; place of the second reads Voldagsen (draft; no register of its own on Archion).
Notes
The strongest single entry for the Küster lead: a miller Johann Ludwig Küster a generation before the Delligsen master miller of the same name. Read the place name. 8 Oct 2026: Lead A; see D109.
Transcription (German)
[No. 60, about 21 Dec. 1742; margin: Wollenweber] V. [Jürgen?] Wollenweber, [Tagelöhner] zu Kuvendahl. M. Anne Dorothea Grote[n]. nat. Maria Hedewig. Gevattern: … Joh. Fried. Küster, Müller zu Kuvendahl [first name and place doubtful] …
Translation (English)
No. 60: Maria Hedwig, daughter of [Jürgen] Wollenweber, [day labourer] at Kuventhal, and Anne Dorothea Grote[n]; among the sponsors Joh. Friedrich [?] Küster, miller at Kuventhal [?].
Notes
The sponsor line read Joh. Jacob on 6 and 12 October 2026 reads Joh. Fried. here; the second Küster line ("Joh. Ludowig Küster, Müller zu V[…]sen") was not re-read. Equal tier (two drafts): the reading above stays; the new one is in the archive as an alternative. No Joh. Jacob Küster occurs in the Kuventhal baptisms of 1730–1750. Image check I70.
