Translation Request: 5 marriages!
This seems crazy but…I think I'm related to these 5 marriages all found together!
Can you help me read these lines? The entries are very condensed. I want to make sure I have the correct parents and "hometowns" for each person.
Thank you!!
The marriages took place on 20th February 1754 and 25th February 1754. [Was that really 5 marriage on the same day on the 20th? Wow!]
I think:
RED: Wilhelm Halffman (son of Jacob Halffman, from Honerbach) & Veronica Bohlen (daughter of Gerdard Bohlen).
GREEN: Johann Tesch (son of Peter Jacob Tesch) & Agnes Ant (all from Honerbach).
BLUE: Michael Hens (son of Peter Hens, from Hottelbach) & Elisab. Bohlen (daughter of Gerard Bohlen, from Honerb.).
PURPLE: Johann Adam Blink? (son of Johann Blink?, from Gelenberg) & Maria Gert? Hens (daughter of Peter Hens, from Kottelbach).
YELLOW: Johann Adam Bertram (from Honerbach) & Anna Meyers (from Mosbauch?). [This one has stuff like "K.D. Pastorem" I don't know all this… 🤣
Slide 133 of 346.

I think this took place in Kelberg. Or Honerbach. Or somewhere nearby.

You have done a very good job with the translation! Some minor edits and additions below in bold:
RED: Wilhelm Halffman (son of Jacob Halffman, from Honerbach) & Veronica Bohlen (daughter of Gerhard Bohlen, also from Honerbach).
GREEN: Johann Tesch (son of Peter Jacob Tesch) & Agnes Ant (all from Honerbach).
BLUE: Michael Hens (son of Peter Hens (deceased, p.m. = piae memoriae), from Köttelbach) & Elisab. Bohlen (daughter of Gerhard Bohlen, from Honerb.).
PURPLE: Johann Adam Blink? (son of Johann Blink? (deceased), from Gelenberg) & Maria Gert[rud?] Hens (deceased, daughter of Peter Hens, from Köttelbach).
YELLOW: Widower Johann Adam Bertram (from Honerbach) & Anna Meyers (from Mosbruch).
Honerbach is probably Hünerbach in Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10860089
Köttelbach is here: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/11050077
Gelenberg is here: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10555030
Mosbruch is here: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20215011

Thank you so much. And I didn't know about the Meyers Gazetteer. I definitely need to bookmark that! I'm trying to learn more about the geography of that area. I'm very new to it all. I only recently found them there!
