Transcription request, Gottfried Werner, 1816
Thank you again for the transcription and translation of Carl Werner's birth record. The following record is for another brother of my 3rd ggf, Gottfried Werner, born in Schellenberg, Kries Gerdauen, East Prussia in 1816. (I have it pretty solidly established that the family relocated to Klingenberg a few years later.) I've posted the page for context (found on Familysearch, so hopefully no problem reposting here), but only need the section on Gottfried Werner highlighted in the red box (though I'm not clear where that section ends and the next begins). A simple transcription is fine, though if you could spell out words that are abbreviated, that would be great. What you can interpret, anyway - I realize that handwriting is scribbly and the page is a bit cut off.

The word Säugmutter appears in each of these birth entries. It means wet nurse, and only a surname is given. I wonder if, in this context, it might mean midwife, as it seems odd that each child would have a wet nurse?
