Please help with correcting transcription and translation of death record year 1778

Debra Palmer01

The source is from FamilySearch: Toten-Rodel, Staatsarchiv Bern, K Kirchdorf 13. The record is on page 54, year 1778, entry 8 for Christian Küenzi.

A note on Christian Küenzi's baptism record from 1775 (son of Hans and Maria Streit) listed his death year as 1778. This death record lists the age at death as 3 years old so it's a good match. I think my translation is correct, however I would appreciate if it was checked.

Thank you!

[entry] 8. den 8ten obiit den 10. [Aprilis] Sepult. [The month is missing and the previous entry lists April, so I assume that is the correct month?]

Christian Küenzi, Hannsenns Ried, von Jaberg, alt 3 jahr.

entry 8

Date of death: 8 April 1778

Date of burial: 10 April 1778

Christian Küenzi, son of Hanns who was a resident of Ried, citizen of Jaberg, 3 years old.

Question: I think that "Hannsenns" is a spelling variation of "Hansen"?

Question: The word zu isn't before "Ried" but I think that was likely the residence of the father Hanns?

Christian Küenzi, Hannsenns Kind, von Jaberg, alt 3 jahr. So no place of residence: child of Hanns.

Hanns is a usual spelling, the overline in "..sens" is rather unusual, but correctly interpreted.

I see the loop above K in Kind and also that the 3rd letter is "n" not e. Thanks for the correction. And for explaining the spelling variation of Hannsenns. Thanks again!
