Can anyone help me decypher this document
Hello there,
apologies for writing in English but my German is below very poor.
I am trying to find out the birth register information for the third child in the document pictured below. I found the first two children data, Franz August (b. 18.12.1881) and Emilia Josepha (b 30.06.1884) in Munchen-St Bonifaz Taufbücher, but there I couldn't find anything for the one born on 29.08.1891... The document is very messy and i wonder if maybe it is giving a difeerent birth location or baptize church and I miss it. Is anyone able to get any info that canhelp me from it?
Thanks all and best regards
Guido

I can't make out the word in the third column. Is a church name St. ? or a place.
From other information on the record it sounded like the family was only in town temporarily for studies and that they moved away in 1883. A suggestion would be to contact the Munich city archives and see if they have resident registration records (Einwohnermelderegister of Melderegister) for this family. Records were kept when individuals moved to and away from a place. It would indicate where they moved to, information about birth, death, marital status may also be included.
Munich city archive contact email: lesesaal.stadtarchiv@muenchen.de

Hello Gina,
thanks a lot for your suggestions. Unfortunately pictures are already from the Munich city archive Polizeilicher Meldebogen (a kind of resident register) of Gerolamo Varese. While residence info on this paper are limited to 1883, two out of three child birthdates noted are successive (Emily 30\06\1884) and Elsa 29\08\1891) so maybe the family just didn't change residence address after 1883.
I think I am left with option a) ask Munich City Archive if they have a birth record for an Elsa Varese born on 29\08\2003 and\or b) scan all munich churches (a lot of them...) 1891 Taufbücher and see if I can spot the baptism record. I am pretty sure about birthdate and that she was catholic, so it may not take me too long
cheers
