Mother's maiden name in 1625 Alsace birth record

Tom Randolph

I'm not sure how to interpret the mother's maiden name for Simon Roth given in the top entry on righthand side page at https://archives.bas-rhin.fr/detail-document/ETAT-CIVIL-C255-P21-R164333#visio/page:ETAT-CIVIL-C255-P21-R164333-1286237 . It looks to be Anna Pah: do you agree?

Thanks!

Hello Tom,

I don't think that's the mother's maiden name. I read it as the initials s. h. = seine Hausfrau = his wife.

The same initials are written after the mothers' names in all the records on this image.

@Robert Seal_1: Thanks, I didn't spot that!
