I believe Jacob Keller is noted by all the small squares. Am I reading his name correctly?

Hello Kent,

the small sqaures mark the name of the Pastor Jakob Roller, whereas the big square marks Hans Peter Keller. Note that the inital hook is in different direction for the "R" and the "K".

The typical part of the sentence is ... habe ich M: H: Jacob Roller Pfarrer von Ruß[heim?] Ein Kind getaufft... = ... have I Magister Herr Jacob Roller, pastor of Russheim baptized a child ...

Ulrich Neitzel Thank you, I need to remember about the R and K. Not sure what a pastor of Russheim is doing in the Graben book? Can I get translation of the big square? I have done quite a bit of research on Peter Keller and a very interested in this entry. There are at least two Peter Keller's in Graben at this time. One the father born 1625 and his son with the same name 1657. Their wives also share the same name making it a bit confusing. This entry may be the father born in 1625.

Indexing doesn't always pick up these early entries so to be sure you have all the Peter Kellers you need to walk through each page by hand. Tedious but necessary.

Is it difficult to decipher the difference between Keller and Koller? Kent

Ulrich Neitzel Thank you very, very much. Kent
