Transcript and translation
Uncertain readings are marked [?] or set in brackets; words that could not be read are marked as such. Each transcript is shown as written, with its transcriber’s notes.
Transcription (German, as read)
"32. Hans Jerg Rau, Bauer[n], jä[h]... [?] [Dohle?], starb sogleich [?] und wurde Abends begraben." Dates in the right-hand columns: "d. 1 Jul." (death) and "d. 3 Jul." (burial). The middle words ("jäh... Dohle") are not legible to me. There is no age, no illness column entry and no wife named in the entry as written; the entry is written across the columns like a note, not in the table form of its neighbors (entries 31 and 33 are in table form).
English translation
No. 32. Hans Jerg Rau, farmer, [suddenly ...?], died at once and was buried in the evening. Died 1 July, buried 3 July [1790].
Notes
Exclusion: first proposed as Johann Wendel's father; refuted by family register p. 332 (his father died 3 October 1794 and had a child in August 1793).
Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible; readings are drafts from the screen until checked on the original.
