    This indexed record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP26-6SWD) for Rosine Friederike Schmauderer says the birth date is 29 Jun and the baptism/christening on 5 Jul. How can we differentiate between the birth date's occurring in the current or previous month? In this record it would be easy, but further down some of those could have happened in either one.

    On the first marriage record here (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP26-NX7V), top left, the index puts the month as March, but from the previous page it seems to be February. Which is correct?

    The only way to be sure is to use the index as a guide to find the actual record. Indexes can have errors and in this case they seem to have accidentally combined February and March events. The original record states the marriage occurred on 13 February 1820. That record is available if you have an Ancestry account:

    Archion might also have the record:

    Need some help extracting data from the first entry on this record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPGT-32S9). Google's AI OCR wasn't too accurate. For example, what are the dates of the marriage banns and is the wife's surname Mürr? Please, let me know if there's anything else interesting, because I don't read Kurrent/Fraktur that well.

    Wait, why was this thread split? It's an different forum now. I wanted to maintain all my family's records in one place in case I need to share the thread with others who are working on the same line. I'd rather not create hundreds of threads if it can be avoided, so can you merge this into the original, please?
