Translation (English)
No. 5. On the 21st of this month [January 1751] the well-aged widow of Gerhard Brandes, of Linse, buried […].
Notes
Read once at about 3.5x, outside the date bound of the pass (recorded only); the rest of the line, with any age, not read. "Brandes" read as Brand + es (long s). The register calls Gerd Brand of Linse "Gerd Brandes" in 1688–1690 and 1708; no other Gerd or Gerhard Brand of Linse is on file. Probably the widow of Gerd Harmen Brand (baptized 1661), Sophia Magdalena Göman of Esperde (married 1687).
Addendum: F445.
Grade: Stated (words read); the identity probable.
*Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible or outside the crop; dates as the register gives them (Julian before 1700).
