Not sure of title for sponsor's father
Does anyone know what the title or occupation Hsev.? is for Johann Joachim Mette, one of the sponsors in the birth record below for Ludwig Scharrenberg in 1849 in Herrnberg? Or could it be Hsm? for Hausmann? Also, did I get ‘knecht’ as servant for the next sponsor Johann Heinrich Göhsler, and ‘käthners’ as cottager for the last person Joh. Jares Hagen right? (and is the Jares right?)
Thanks! Tom

Hello @Tom Randolph,
The abbreviation is "Hsw." = Hauswirt(h) = landlord/house owner. This is his occupation.
Yes, "Knecht" = servant is correct.
Yes "Käthner" = cottager is correct.
Mr. Hagen's full name is: Joh[ann] Joach[im] Hagen.

The 'w' at the end of a word often looks like 'er' or 'ev' because the first vertical line is spaced further from the other two. It took me quite a while to catch on to this.

Hello @Cheryl Viering,
I agree with you about the spacing of the strokes of the "w". It took me quite a while to get comfortable identifying and distinguishing "w" in German script. The "w" can be very difficult to identify when beginning to interpret German script because of the spacing you identified.
