Translation request:

Also what do the first 5 lines on the left say about these birth records? In other words is this a government document in contrast to the hand written church records?

Thank you Robert, sorry about sending you down the rabbit hole on the left. However good to see the information on the right! Kent

Hello @Kent Gardiner , Hello @Robert Seal_1

Trivia about the couple on the left page:

They were married on 17 April 1827, but separated already before the birth of their first and only child. They divorced 2 May 1835.

Duke Friedrich Paul of Württemberg was not a ruling prince but a naturalist and explorer who travelled all continents and among other things explored of the headwaters of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.

Thank you, @Ulrich Neitzel, for the additional information about Duke Friedrich Paul. This is very interesting.

You're welcome, @Kent Gardiner. I don't feel I went down the rabbit hole, instead I learned new information about the House of Thurn and Taxis and Duke Friedrich Paul, and every tranlsation is an opportunity to improve my translations skills.

Best regards to you both, Robert
