One phrase: Georg Bleier b 6 Oct 1794 familybook I page 23 film 102118620 page 912

Kent Gardiner

Hi, Can you please translate the phrase before the last two children listed? Why are Heinrich and Christine listed separately?

Good morning @Kent Gardiner,

These are the illegitimate children of Christine Bleier (1821-1896), who is the first child listed above.

Translation: Christine Bleier had illegitimately: (1) Heinrich [and] (2) Christine.

Kent Gardiner

Thanks Robert. I should be able to guess these illegitimate children by now. Kent

You're welcome, Kent.

I am curious about the symbol following Christine's name. It looks like 'NB'.

I've seen it elsewhere, but in other uses it appeared to signify that the person was of some importance. My best guess was that it meant 'Note Bene'. Does it have a different meanimg?

Hello @Cheryl Viering,

You are correct. The abbreviation "NB" means nota bene = note well.

In this record, it is telling the reader to note well that Christine had illegitimate children (born in 1841 and 1844), who are recorded at the bottom of the page.

Robert Seal_1 Thanks Robert

Thank you Robert. It's good to have my guess confirmed.
