Notes
Read at the viewer's highest usable zoom (about 5x); the image is low-resolution. -aßmann clear; the first letter W or V (W likelier); the place word after "14." not settled. The earliest Wasman-type entry in the parish.
Addendum: F442 (1).
Grade: Stated (forename, -aßmann, cause, date); the first letter and place possible.
*Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible or outside the crop; dates as the register gives them (Julian before 1700).
