Good evening Kent,

Translation:

No. 41.

On the 9th of September [1820] in the evening at 6:30 pm born and on the 12th of the same month baptized: Jakob Friedrich, parents whose mother is Katharina Wertele, legitimate daughter of the deceased local non-citizen resident and master locksmith Christoph Wertele and his wife, Katharina, née Bickelin. Baptismal witnesses are: (1) Jakob Friedrich Scholl, local citizen and master mason. (2) His wife Elisabetha, née Zimmermännin. (3) Andreas Wenz, grenadier of the Grand Ducal Bodyguard, legitimate unmarried son of the local deceased citizen Martin Wenz. (4) Christine Meierin, legitimate unmarried daughter of the local citizen and carpenter Christoph Meier.

Jakob Scholl, currently a soldier of the Grand Ducal Line Infantry Regiment No. [blank], legitimate son of the deceased local citizen and master tailor Philipp Scholl and his wife Juliana, née Braunin, has voluntarily acknowledged himself to be the father of the child, to which the father of the child has signed the document.

[signatures]: Jakob Scholl [father of the child]. J. Friedrich Scholl [witness]. Andreas Wentz [witness].

Left margin: Scholl. [The surname "Scholl" has been added to this record in a different hand and likely at the time the parents of this child married in November 1821. The couple's marriage legitimized this child, giving him the surname "Scholl".]

Robert Seal_1 Wow Robert. That must have taken you an hour to do!!! What a complicated, detailed document. You never fail to amaze me. I look at a document like this and my head swims.

Philipp Scholl is the last child of Johann Matthias Scholl b 1718. His second marriage was to Juliana Née Braunin. Their son Jakob Scholl born 7 Jun 1796 is 24 at the time of this document. He is in the Grand Ducal Line Infantry as noted. 

Jakob Friedrich Scholl (mason KH3N-ZSK) is a witness and signed this document. He married Elisabetha Zimmermann 12 Feb 1818. Elisabetha: (1783-1831 KH21-DW1) They had four children. Jakob died in 1877.

Thanks so very much! I put the marriage record in to be translated. Quite a bit of information in this amazing document!!!!!!!!! KG

You're welcome, Kent. An out-of-the-ordinary document like this is fun to work on but it did take me a bit longer than usual.
