The record is a burial record for Maria Magdalena Koebel, born 1790 and buried 19 Dec 1858 in Ilbenstadt, Friedberg.

The text is available on film number 007991074 images 566 and 567,

If anyone can help, I should be so grateful.

This film must be viewed at a FamilySearch center. Can you post an image?

J Edwards

Sorry, the lady I spoke to on Zoom from the BYU library, said I wasn’t allowed a copy of the image. She suggested I post on here, but I suppose only people who have access to the microfiche will be able to help. If I could get hold of an image I could have it translated here in England.

I just hope someone with access will be able to help 🤞

J Edwards

The lady on the Zoom was extremely helpful but could not read the old script.

Note - the word marked [can't read] might be "Schulaspiranten" - someone who aspires to school? Not sure how that fits in this context.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now I have the record and the translation. That is brilliant.

I particularly wanted to know if Maria Magdalena was married as, in 1824, she had an illegitimate son, Andreas Raab, who is my husband's great great grandfather.

Andreas' father was Valentine Raab from Ebersheim, who signed the baptism record to confirm he was the father.

I have always wondered if Magdalena ever married.

Thank you again.

The hunt for Valentine from Ebersheim continues!
