Gender question
I need a translate I found this death record. I have a daughter in this family named Bertha Wilhelmine Jäger who married Franz Christian Meÿer, but the transcription in Ancestry says the person is male. Can someone verify the gender on this record, because if there isn’t one I think that it should be female?
