Confirmation

Steve Schell

I need some confirmation of what I think this record says. It involves the last record on the page that continues at the top of the next page for CATHARINA ELISABETH JASPER.

1. Does the baptismal date read 26th of June?
2. Is the mother's maiden name "GLASS"? I have other sources saying her name was "Klaus" but this looks like GLASS.
3. What is the last sponsors name? Is it TIMERS or what is that after Timers?

THANKS

Hello @Steve Schell

(1) The baptismal date is 26 September 1854.

(2) Yes, the mother's maiden surname is Glass.

(3) I read the last sponsor's name as J. G. Timmers. (The line over the "m" means to double it.)

What is written after "Timmers" is likely the priest's signature. Compare this with similar signatures in the records on previous and subsequent pages.

Additional note: The indexer shows the birth date as 22 September but the record is hard to read and the birth month looks more like August than September to me. The baptism is definitely September.

I agree with @JohnsonGreg that the child's birth date is 22 August.

Caveat: Always be wary of Ancestry indexing, especially with foreign language records.
