Hello,

I am translating one of my ancestors german records from the early 1800s and I have come across an word that is very hard for me to discern. I would appreciate it if somone knowledgeable could examine it and let me know. Attached is both a closeup of the word and the original document it came from.

Thank you for your help.

Much Metta,

Masaki

    @MasakiTakeda1 , you may want to copy and paste your post in the German Genealogy community group. There are hundreds of people with many speaking/reading German and living in Germany. I think you will find someone willing to help you with translation needs there. Here is the link: https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/88-germany-genealogy-research.

    Good luck in your genealogy discovery journey!
