Please update the following transcription:

(https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6FCP-SHSD : Sun Mar 16 18:45:19 UTC 2025), Entry for Ernst Ludwig Stapel and Christoph Stapel, 25 Feb 1829.

I discovered a very unfortunate typo in the transcription: The mothers name is HauFF (double 'f'), not HauTT (see entry G68W-86B).

Thank you

    Corrections to individual documents' index entries are something that we users are expected to do ourselves, although it is only possible where the relevant Collection's contractual arrangements allow it.

    In this case the image appears to be available only at a FamilySearch Center, so I can't tell from home whether index editing would be possible. Could someone chip in who has access to this image please.

    By the way, the correction would have to be made in the following transcription:
