Any ideas what this expression is describing the burial of Hanß Jacob Schmidt in 1737 in Alsace? Looks like 'hrstl ?rsten'??

    The first word is christl[ich]. The usual phrase is: nach christlichem Gebrauch or auf christliche Weise or - as in the record above - christgewöhnlich. None of these seems to fit here. Maybe you can find another record in this book which is clearer.

    @Ulrich Neitzel : Thank you! I had only found one other use of the expression (below), but it didn't add any insight. It does look to start with a 'w' though.
