Translation Request for one word in Birth Record

Don Kolle

In regards to this individual: Johann Nicol Voigt: Male, about 1747 – Deceased•GK51-D8Q, there is a birth record with an added parentage. I don't understand the relationship of the father Krannich. Thanks in advance for the help:

It is the first entry on this document:

I have a screen shot of the document but can't figure out how to post it here

Hello @Don Kolle,

Here is the corrected link for this image:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDP-69SV-5?cc=3015626&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQP8B-TVLR

This is a death record for Andreas Caspar Voigt:

The decedent is named Andreas Caspar Voigt.

His biological father is: Johann Nicol Voigt.

His foster father is: Martin Andreas Krannich.

Here is what is written in the third column which has the translated heading "Parents of the Deceased":

Johann Nicol Voigt, freight handler here. His [i.e. Andreas Caspar Voigt's] foster father the late Martin Andreas Krannich, freight handler here. Barbare Margarethe, née Koch here.

The word "Pflegevater" translates as: foster father.

Martin Andreas Krannich is the foster father of the decedent Andreas Caspar Voigt.
