Translation of this birth record from Mittelkalbach
Please, I am looking for a confirmation or correction of what I think the fifth record from the top on the left-side page for Georg Adam Volker is saying.
- Does this say the Georg Adam was born at 9 PM on 19 Nov 1834 and was baptized on 21 Nov ? "It looks like "vigesima prima" - the "prima" is kind of blocked out but that's what it looks like.
- It looks like the occupation of the father and the sponsor is shown. Could that be saying they are school teachers?
THANK YOU FOR THE ASSISTANCE!

- Yes, that's correct.
- Yes, they are both Ludimagister, i.e. (elementary school) teacher.

That's an exciting find Steve! It removes any doubt that your Kolkers were Völkers. It's amazing that you were able to find those key records.

Thanks, Greg! When I found that special note at the end of the parents' marriage record from Lütter that mentioned the record was being "dismissed" to the parish in Flieden, that opened up the whole thing! I knew nothing about them being in Flieden. The newspapers and obituaries from the Quincy, IL newspapers always mentioned Lütter as the home,; so mosty of my research was in and around Lütter. Finding my direct ancestor, Adam, and now, Francisca, was just a matter of searching church books around Flieden when I didn't find them in Flieden. That marriage record for the parents was genealogical GOLD!
