Request to decipher abbreviations in Familienbuch
Attached is a page from the Konigheim Familienbuch ab 1630. I can't figure out the shorthand notations in the middle column, between baptis & obitus. My web search looking for how to interpret this turned up nothing. Would appreciate a pointer on how to understand this. Thanks so much.

"Status" gives a reference to another entry in the book.
Example: right hand side (page 1028) first entry is for Hornbach Adamus, "Status" 1027 n.2.i
Go to the left hand side (page 1027): number 2 is Hornbach Joannes - and his son "i" is Joannes Adamus, bapt. 17 April 1704 - reference 1028 n.1. Looks like the writer was too lazy to repeat the baptismal date here 😉.

Thank you so much! What a clever way to code things! This knowledge is very useful - it gives connections to other pages in the book, which will make following the lineages much simpler.
Really appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me.
