Help with death age of Joh Rachau
Hi,
This record has been transcribed giving the death age as 7 years. The death of Joh. is entry 140 on the right-hand page.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6FCH-PLSF
Name:Joh Rachan, Sex:Male, Age:7, Death or Burial Place:Posen, Preußen, Deutschland; Death Date:20 Aug 1792, Birth Year (Estimated):1785, Father's Name:Martin Rachan, Father's Sex:Male, Mother's Name:Maria Hackbarth, Mother's Sex:Female, Event Type:Burial, Page Number:246, 247
Looking at the ages of other death entries, there aren't any numbers in the second column if the person was more than a year old. There is a number in the 2d column for this entry. This is what I would like help with so I can verify if Joh is the same person as was born in the 2 sources below.
These are links possibly for a birth of Joh. Rachau

Hello @Myke Rachu,
The child's age at death is definitely not 7 years old.
The number of days between 3 April 1792 (the child's birth) and 20 August 1792 (the child's death/burial) is 139 days, which equates to 20 weeks. Could the number in the second column be 20 weeks?

That would make sense. The number is definitely 20 something.
If Joh was 7 years old when he died, his mother Maria Hackbarth would have given birth at the age of 15. Not impossible but not likely.
Thank you for all of your help.
PS: I am a member of the MN. Genealogy Group that goes to SLC in October. You have helped many of our members with translations. If you live near SLC, we would like to take you to lunch or dinner. You have many fans from Wisconsin and Minnesota. Please let me know. Fritz suggested that I ask you.

You're welcome, Myke. Thank you and your MN Genealogy Group for the very kind offer which is greatly appreciated. But I don't live close to SLC and this coming October I have a family reunion to attend on the East Coast.
With kind regards to you and the members of the MN Genealogy Group,
sincerely,
