Im .... der Gmeind Dachelsen zugehörig

First a household:

Heini Wÿß / Elsbeth Grobin

Children: Elsbethli 06.10.72 / Hans

Ancilla (servant): Susanna Häfeli v(on) Lunnern 30 iar (Jahr)

Then we have some statistics:

Haushaltungen 21 (households)

Ehen 26 (marriages - likely in the sense of married couples)

Communicantes 78 (persons who have had their first communion)

Seelen 139 (souls = persons)

… and books:

Biblen 10 (bibles)

N(eues) Testament 3 (new testaments)

Psalmenbücher 22 (book of psalms)

Zeügnusbücher 23 (catechism with bible quotes)

Bottom right it says "Rossauw" - is that indicating that the village of Rossau is following next page?

BTW - are you sure this is the Bevölkerungsverzeichnis Maschwanden and not Mettmenstetten? I am asking as Dachelsen/Dachlissen belongs (today) to Mettmenstetten, not Maschwanden - same with Rossau.

WSeelentag Yes, sorry about that, I checked and it was Mettmenstetten. I thought this was a nice little summary from a small community on how their religious education was progressing. Thanks for indulging me. KG
