Transcription/Translation Request - Bunde 1732

Jenealogy

Don't know why, but some entries give only the surname -- no given name in entries for both marriages and christenings.

In the attached, marriage #8, has just that. Here's what I see and hope that you can improve upon it:

8) Wolckers u. [I think this should be "aus"] Holsen [the name of the village where the Wolckers families reside] sule? und berings von hubussers tochter

Any help you can give would be much appreciated!

What I read:

8) Wölckers v[on] Holsen Sohn und Berings von Habeshauß(?) Tochter

Jenealogy

Thank you. So this priest seems to think that we all know the given names of the fathers. Ha!

I found a Habehausen in Bremen. Do you think that this is a likely distance for two people during that time period to meet and marry?

I checked Geogen and there is 1 family of Woelkers in Bremen. No Berings. I will need to look for alternative spellings . . .

Again, thank you.

Bremen seems too far away. I checked the map in Meyers again and there is a Habighorst (https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10695048) not far from Holsen. The handwriting of the scribe is rather sloppy; it could be possibly this name.

Note that the surnames are probably Wölcker and Bering; the ending -s is just the genitive sign.

Jenealogy

You are right about the handwriting😁 You are a master transcriber!

I will check out the Habighorst and see what I can find.
