Sophie Wilhelmine (born after her father's death), daughter of the late master [?] Johann Reichert, citizen and smith here, and his second wife Auguste Charlotte née Haidle, widow; born here on 5 August [1851] at 9 in the evening; baptized here on 10 August by Pastor Moser [?]. Sponsors: Christian Friedrich Löffler [?], miner [?], here; Auguste, wife of Christian Ri[..], née Seyffert; Katharine Metzger, single, of this place. Family register 402.
Notes. Child 5 of household 402, born 146 days after her father's death (computed). She is Caroline Weiss's half-sister. The sponsor "g. Seyffert" is probably the same woman as the doubtful "Augusta Seyffert/Reiffert" of 1844 and 1847 (PROBABLE, not tested).
