Transcription Request - 1847 Marriage Record - Kaltenkirchen
I would like to know whether "Dominik" could be an occupation or other descriptor other than a given name. This parish record that includes this "Albert Laschansky" is the only one I've found for him, including his burial record, that includes "Dominik" in front of "Albert", so I have a hard time believing it is truly part of his name.

I did a quick Google search for the name Laschansky / Lazansky and up came several people who had their roots in the Pilsen/Plzeň area. So the name existed there. Some of them seemed to be of Jewish origin.
Not sure if this has any relevance for Albert Laschansky, but it would certainly be very interesting to find out more about his origin.

Also to me the name Dominik seems a bit uncommon for this time and place. However, I am unable to find any occupation or title like this.
I notice that in the FS family tree (Johann) Albert Laschansky LHHB-YX7 has a father named Dominik Marcus Laschansky, but with no sources given. He is said to be from Slovakia where this first name is more common (https://www.namenmitgeschichte.de/index.php/suche-nach-namen).

I apologize in advance for this lengthy comment.

Yes, I've seen that FS entry also, but as you indicated... no sources. The lack of authentication is one of my greatest irritations with FS and Ancestry family trees.

The reference to Slovakia is interesting because Albert's burial record implies he was born in "Schüttenhofen". I've had trouble finding that village in Germany, but there is a town in the Czech Republic (aka Bohemia) once called [Ger.] Schüttenhofen but known today as "Sušice" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su%C5%A1ice). It seems odd to me that his family would move from there all the way to northern Germany. Do you know whether parish records are available online for that town?

Of the parish records I've found for Albert's family in Kaltenkirchen, the majority identify him as simply "Albert". For the purposes of my family trees, how would you suggest I handle his name?

Interesting. I was wondering already, because the name Laschansky is not a typical one for Schleswig-Holstein. The area where Schüttenhofen/Sušice is located belonged to the Austrian Empire for most of the 19th century. Especially in the border area to Germany many (sometimes the majority) of people were native German speakers. It is quite possible that Albert immigrated (for whatever reason) to northern Germany.
I found the following link to an index of church books for Schüttenhofen: https://www.sudetendeutsche-familienforscher.de/SUD/kb/albrechtsried.html . The books are in the Staatsarchiv Pilsen (Státní oblastní archiv v Plzni, Sedláckova 44, CZ-306 12 Plznen), but apparently not accessible online.
Albert was apparently his main first name, the "Rufname". What regards Johann and Dominik it is unclear if they had an "official" status. His birth record would have to decide that.

Yes, interesting.
Albert and his wife Maria geb. Reher lived in northern Germany by at least 1819 because their first known child, August, was born about then, reportedly in Klein Gladebrügge, although his baptismal record is reportedly in the Segeberg records, not currently online. August's confirmation record from 1835 at Kaltenkirchen also indicates he was born in Klein Gladebrügge on 25 Apr 1819.
August's marriage record from 1846 identifies his parents as "Maria Reher of Klein Gladebrüg, Kirchspiel Segeberg & the [Ger. Insten] Johann Albert Laschansky of Kattendorf". You commented on that record earlier, indicating that 1) the wording, including the fact that "ehel. Sohn" did not appear in the record, suggests August may have been born out of wedlock and 2) it was not common to associate different towns with a married couple of parents. That same marriage record indicates that August produced his baptismal certificate from Kirchspiel Segeberg, reinforcing the fact that he was born near there.
-------
A final comment on the FS family tree you referenced earlier, it traces back through several generations of Laschansky's. If it were accurate, which I doubt it is, it suggests Albert's father was born in Czech and died in Salzburg, his grandfather also born in Czech, his great-grandfather born in Košicky in SE Slovakia, his 2nd GGF born in Poland, his 3rd GGF born in Poland, his 4th GGF no location given, his 5th GGF born in Pommern, Preußen (likely northern Poland) and died in Poland, his 6th GGF died in Lublin (Lubelskie) in SE Poland. None of these individuals include any sources. Seems odd to me that a family line would have migrated from SE Poland to northern Poland to SE Slovakia to, possibly, SW Slovakia (Albert in Schüttenhofen) and finally to northern Germany.
