page 229. [Baptized] Whit Monday, 31 May [1819]. Parents: Felix Kunz [in] Hinternord and Barbara Pfenninger. Born the 30th Hans Jakob (ex? 1837). Witnesses: Hans Jakob Kindlimann in the Krinner(?) and Regula Pfgr [Pfenninger].

Hinternord is part of Wald ZH and no independent place of citizenship (indicated by "of …") - their place of citizenship will have been Wald.

I'm not sure about the "ex": there are several entries "ex …." with years 1836-1838, so people would have been 17 to 19 years old - rather late for confirmation. As often the date of death is noted in that location ex = exitus, Latin for died, comes to mind … but then in one entry we have both (ex 1837 and ob[iit = died] 24.2.1843). Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be records of confirmations - but the "Haushaltungsrodel" might help.

I am also at a loss at Krinner/Krinnen: there is a Krinnensberg in Schmidrüti - but that's too far away to make sense.

BTW - there is a topic Kunz von Wald ZH on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=26741.

Yes - is says Hs. Jakob Kindlimann in der Krinnen(?) - indicating that this is where Hs. Jakob Kindlimann lived.

And https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Wald_Parish,_Z%C3%BCrich,_Switzerland_Genealogy actually mentions Krinnen as a location in Wald ZH … this made me curious 😉 …so I finally found Chrinnen on the map.

https://search.ortsnamen.ch/de/record/4014121/ explains: The name is derived from the Swiss-German noun Chrinne(n) 'small, elongated depression, notch, gully; natural depression in the ground, rift between mountains, mountain gorge; notch in rocks; narrow water channel running from mountain peaks' and describes the location of the settlement in the steep terrain incision with the Diezikonerbach stream.

"Yes, I had seen Krinnen in the list on the familysearch wiki page but accidentally erased it from my sentence before posting my message. I wondered why you discussed it."

Quite simple: I wanted to know what's written there, to confirm the location name.

"Thank you. I will definitely register there. However, that brings up a related question about translation. Perhaps I should start a new post for this? What is a better translation method than Google Translate?"

To answer your question first: https://www.deepl.com/translator - also online and free (there is a professional version for companies - not necessary for "people like us").

Why are you asking? In case you are planning to post in Geneal-Forum: there English is fine! The forum is multilingual (mainly German, French, English) and all participants may use their mother tongue. Members not understanding a given language can always use DeepL themselves: it is often (e.g. when a translation is not perfect) better to have the original as well.

Or are you asking for translations of online information. like with ortsnamen.ch? With this sort of text a common problem are abbreviations - always a problem with computer translations. The translation above was done by DeepL - but after I had expanded all abbreviations. BTW - this contribution are my own words 😉. It is only when I have a text in German, translating it with DeepL and just checking it, is easier (I'm lazy).
