3. Juli (1781) Regula
Parents: Schulmeister Kaspar Jenta, Anna Wolfensperger, [both] von Etenhausen.
Godparents: Kirchenpfleger [church warden] Johann Weber von Hinwil, Regula Gujer von Tobel, Müllerin zu Kempten.
Two comments on the godmother, Regula Gujer:
She is listed as from Tobel, miller (likely wife of the …) in Kempten. Now there is no place of citizenship "Tobel" in canton Zürich - but hundreds of locations with that name, incl. one in the parish of Wetzikon, next to Kempten - where the mill is actually within walking distance.
Gujer is a widespread name in canton Zürich - but when I checked the Zürich Marriage Database, no Gujer are found - all such entries seem to have been normalised to Guyer (another widespread spelling). I have posted this to https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=33922 - let's see if any comments come in.
A comment on the spelling Wolfensberger/Wolfensperger: in the handwritten register the spelling (b or p?) is not always obvious - in most transcriptions I have therefore used Wolfensberger, the official spelling today for the citizens of Wetzikon. There are also families Wolfensperger, however, but not as citizens of Wetzikon.

WSeelentag Wolf: I have been wondering about the spelling of Wolfensberger. I noticed that sometimes it looks like Wolfensperger. Thanks for the clarification.
Not only do I get a translation but also background on names and references to databases. You are absolutely awesome. Thanks for working with me! I consider it an honor to have your help!!!!

"Crowd Intelligence" works - and I have to correct myself. The godmother was Regula Vontobel from Pfäffikon, born 06.09.1749. On 22.02.1773 she had married the miller Hans Gujer from Kempten. More detail see https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=33922#p127032.

Correction duly noted. I still can't get on the geneal forum. I assume someone is still working on the problem. Thank you!

"I still can't get on the geneal-forum."
What exactly does this mean?
1) Reading is free on the forum - no login required. If you click on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=33922#p127032 you should be able to read the post. If that doesn't work, we don't have a password problem - then something else is wrong.
2) You had requested a new (temporary) password to be sent - this was done, but the mail bounced as undeliverable. Consequently the admin sent this temporary password to me and I have forwarded it via private communication in the community here … but you seem to have never tried this. Consequently I have tried to log in "in your name" … worked perfectly. Again in your name I have "subscribed" to the topic "Jenta von Wetzikon" and later posted a test response: so you should have received a mail telling you that a response has been posted to your subscribed topic. Please, check your mailbox, and let me know if such a mail has arrived. If not, there is a problem on the side of your mail service.
Best regards - Wolf

WSeelentag Wolf: I checked my mailboxes, archive, spam, inbox with no sign of a password. How about texting the password to me? Thanks for your patience.

Kent - we don't seem to discuss along the same lines. So let's go step by step:
Reading the forum is free - no login required. Therefore, before we continue any password related issues, just click on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=33922#p127032: you should be able to read the post on Vontobel von Pfäffikon. Can you read this - yes or no? If no: what sort of error message do you get?

I have no problem reading that page or any other. When we were talking about that topic I copied the Guyer information which I found very informative. The reason I might want to log in is so I can post questions. I'm perfectly happy to just continue reading the forum. Kent

Very good 😊. I only asked as you had written "I still can't get on the geneal forum." - just wanted to make sure there is not a general connection problem.
Now for your temporary password: nobody is still working on it - it had already been sent to you. You cannot find it in your mail folders because your mail provider (gmail) has bounced it, that is returned it as "undeliverable" … as it doesn't seem to be an incorrect address, only gmail will now why ☹.
I had therefore asked the admin to send it to me to forward it by other means: I have done so a few days ago, via this community's internal messaging. Click on the "envelope" icon (right next to your avatar): check if you can find it - and, if yes, try to log in … I had done that "in your name" and it worked perfectly.
Let me know how you are getting on.

Hello Kent,
I would like to clarify this login / communication problem asap. Reason: right now for me the most plausible explanation is a problem with gmail. Should that be the case, I would like to be sure, and issue a corresponding warning. To make sure, however, I need your help … therefore my questions:
1) Have you found your new (temporary) password as described?
2) If yes - have to tried to log in?
3) If yes - did you succeed?
4) If no - what was the error message?
I am looking forward to hearing from you - best regards - Wolf

- No, I have not seen the temp password
- I tried to reset my password and have the site send me a temp password. No password is received.
- It could be that Gmail views it as spam and has disallowed the password from being sent. If that is the case it could be a problem caused by me.
- However when I look at my spam the Forum message is not there. What is the name on the message sent from the Forum?

Well - as mentioned before: you cannot find a message in any of your folders as gmail bounced the mail as "undeliverable" - so it's not your fault, most likely it is gmail just blocking the mail (for whatever reason) with the fake excuse that the address is incorrect/invalid - which it is not (we've checked that).
Again, as mentioned above, I had sent you the temporary password via the internal FS messaging system - and have described how to find it. A screenshot will hopefully make it clearer: http://www.seelentags.de/delete/password-message.jpg.
Open your messages (click on the envelope icon), scroll to my message of May 10 (might not be the first one) > open it and scroll down to my message of May 9: there you'll find the new password (blackened in the screenshot).
As mentioned before, I had tried it "in your name" … has worked perfectly.
Try this - and let me know what happened.

I only have one message from you which is dated April 9:
Hello Kent,
if I understood your post 7 April correctly, you wrote you registered with Geneal-Forum: unless you are "MrsKaia", however, you are not showing up in the members' list. Do I misunderstand your post - or did you not finish your registration?
There is no May 10 message in my inbox. Want to try again? I looked at all pvt messages back to 2021.
