Notes
Re-read at 3.5x–7x: "Wabman" with a plain b in e.27 and e.31. "von Wegensen" is on the foot of Bild 55 (not re-read). Marten Wa[b/h]man possible only. The Wabman Meier of the baptisms (godfather 1599; "Wasman Meier" 1594) is probably the same man.
Addendum: F442 (1)–(3).
Grade: Stated (forms as read); e.22 possible.
*Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible or outside the crop; dates as the register gives them (Julian before 1700).
