Hello @Kent Gardiner,

Where (parish, city, village, town) is this record from?

Thanks, Robert

Hello @Kent Gardiner.

Record nos. 190 and 191 are for a set of male twins, each with a different male baptismal sponsor. Note that each twin is named after his respective sponsor.

Here is my interpretation and translation of these two records:

First twin:

Year 1715, on the 26th of January.

190. Lanzing[en].

[Ni]colaus Koller [child].

Velten Koller [father].

Magdalena [mother].

Nicolaus Nüchtern [baptismal sponsor].

Second twin:

On the same day.

191. Lanzing[en].

[Jo]hann Melchior Koller [child].

Velten Koller [father].

Magdalena [mother].

Joh[ann] Melchior S(c)h__? [baptismal sponsor].

Comments: "Velten" is a variant of the male name "Valentine".

It is helpful to the translator if you state where the record is from when you post your request because place names are challenging to decipher.

@Robert Seal_1 , you did very well with the name of the location - it is most probably Lanzingen, which is very close to Breitenborn, where Nicolaus Nüchtern is from.

Robert Seal_1

Danke, @Ulrich Neitzel. Yes, I see how close Lanzingen is to Breitenborn. I've edited by original response to show the place as: Lanzingen. Many thanks.

Kent Gardiner

Thank you both for enlightening me! Kent

Sorry Robert about the place name. I will do as requested. Translation is hard enough without figuring out where the record is from. Kent

Geographical location

Breitenborn / Lützel is surrounded by forest in the Spessart Nature Park in the Lützelbachtal , a tributary of the Beavers . The district road 893 connects the two suburbs Breitenborn and Lützel and connects them, in a north-east direction, with the next district Lanzingen.
