Convoluted sets of parish records from 1736 - Hollingstedt
@Ulrich Neitzel ...This request for help is unusual in that it involves two adjacent marriage entries early in 1736 plus a baptism record later in 1736. The bride in the 2nd marriage record and the mother in the baptism record is my 6th GGM, Stincke Marquarts. Her 1st husband, Hans Börm, seems to have married someone in Feb 1736 who apparently died soon thereafter, and then he married Stincke in June 1736, followed by the birth of their son Hans in Sept 1736. The story is convoluted and difficult for me to interpret. Can you help flesh out the details?

Yes, this situation is a bit complicated, mainly because three generations of Hans Börm are involved: Marriage #1 is for Hans Börm senior, marriage #2 is for his illegitimate son (who nevertheless bears his name), and the baptism is for Hans Börm III, the son, respectively grandson of the two other Hans Börm.

@Ulrich Neitzel ... Amazing! Thank you!
This was a perfect example of the importance of the "devil in the details" when it comes to the importance of key terms, phrases, or notations when translating these records. Your help greatly clarified the context!

@Ulrich Neitzel ... Just to clarify... Hans Börm the 2nd, illegitimate son of Wibke Cords, was not necessarily the son of Hans Börm the 1st but perhaps was simply "adopted" by Hans the 1st as his "son"?

Well, the record does not say "biological father", but the connecting bracket and the margin note ("father and illegitimate son") seems to indicate that this is the case (at least to me). Do you know who was the first wife of Hans Börm the 1st?

@Ulrich Neitzel ... No, I have not worked back that far yet in the records, yet. As I'm sure you fully understand, the farther back the records, often the worse the handwriting and I feel like I'm beginning to run out of paths to pursue.
