Notes
The family register page "I, 420" was read on 24-25 October 2026 (Family_Register_Elias_Buchele_Johanna_Philippina_Stein_Hessigheim_Archion_84876_Bild_24). The birth date and place agree with Friederike Rau's 1845 death entry (Death_Record_Friederica_Rau_Buchele_Enzweihingen_1845_Archion_79194_Bild_352). Doubtful: the surname form, the father's trade word, the mother's surname, the sponsors' surnames and the later margin note. Grade: STATED for the entry;
