What is the Bride’s name?
This is a marriage record 1670 in Wangeritz, Nauguard, Pomerania to an Andreas Schwartzen. The brides name looks like Engel to me. Oddly, his first wife was an Engel. It seems unlikely to find two women with that name. There is a break in the children attributed to Andreas during this time which resumes in 1673. So I am assuming this is a new relationship. The last name starts with a Z. Maybe Ziloß—?

Hello Christina,
I read the name as "Zilaßki = Zilaski", which is (also) a quite common Polish family name.
Have you seen that the next but one entry (1676) is for the marriage of Engel Schwartzen with Michal Filter? So andreas seems to have died between these years. The entry is not fully visible,but it states something about "And: Schwartzens...."

Translation:
In the year 1676, Monday after Quasimodogeniti [first Sunday after Easter] were married: Michel Filter the Elder, "Pfarrbauer" [farmer on the church's land] and churchwarden, with Engel Schwartzen, [daughter of?] Andreas Schwartzen, mayor and churchwarden. God give them peace and unity, happiness salvation and blessing
Comment:
This Engel Schwartzen is said to be the daughter of (some) Andreas Schwartzen, so it seems that both persons are not the same as in the entry above? I am a bit confused....
I see now that in the entry between these two, it is Michel Filter the Younger who marries Anna Schwartzen (1674)...
From which source are these records, Ancestry?

Unfortunately the word before Anna is not a name. The line of text is the same as in the entry above and reads: ein Kindt tauffen und nennen laßen ... = have a child baptized and named ...
It could be the Anna Schwartzen who married Michel Filter the Younger in 1674 (who in turn may be the one born 12 Aug 1649, see the entry just below her baptism).

Thank you. I’m sure you are right. I have searched through those records again and still have not found a birth record for an Engel that is Andreas’ daughter. Thank you so much for the additional information you read off.

This is the rest of that record. It does have Andreas Schwartzen…is it followed by his occupation?

I hope I found the missing piece to this puzzle. Andreas had a daughter in 1649 named Anna, but there’s another name in front. She might be named Engel Anna Schwartz. Her mother is named Engel too. If that is the case then she is the daughter of an Andreas Schwartz. That Andreas was a Mayor of Wangeritz. These records come from Archion.de
