Translation Help
Hi,
Can I please have help with translation #32? This family is sometimes listed at 'Bode' or 'Boden'. How can you confirm what the actual surname was at the time? I just wanted to document the correct name.

Regarding the surname: You will need to find as many records as you can for this family and make a determination as to what you feel the correct form of the surname is.
