Notes
Companion entry to Bild 13 (1871) and Bild 22 (1873), below/above — same couple, same stillbirth wording, mother identified the same way each time by her own birthdate. This crop is the clearest of the three: the father's occupation (Tagelöhner), the mother's full given names, the birth date and time, and the word "todtgeboren" are all unambiguous here.
The mother is a documented daughter of this project's Waßmann line (Kemnade_Taufen_1843-1868, Bild 12, Entry 10) — this connection was missed on the original pass.
The marginal page reference (pag. 532) sits between Bild 13's probable pag. 530 and Bild 22's pag. 534, consistent with three distinct register entries rather than one note copied three times.
Correction, 12 October 2026: the father's surname is Dröge, not Krog or Sroege. File renamed from Baptism_Record_Stillborn_Son_Of_Heinrich_Friedrich_Carl_August_Krog_Kemnade_1872_Archion_390700_Bild_18.
