Are these some type of abbreviation following the names in this marriage record?

Tom Randolph

In the marriage record below, there is an something that looks like 'ei' following the names Rachel and Mar. Anna, and something like an 'r' following Hauck. The 'ei' appears in several other records on that and nearby pages. This is the first time I have come across this in the limited number of transcriptions I have done so far, and I don't see any mention of it in Thode. Any ideas?

Thanks

Tom

To me it looks like a hastily written "ein" and after Hauck is a "u." with the typical line above it written low.

In this case it should be "eine" , the feminine form: "eine geborene Hauck". It is possible, but a rather unusual abbreviation.

Hello @Tom Randolph,

Yes, I have seen similar grammatical constructions with the word "eine" in reference to female maiden surnames. Literally it would be read as: Rachel one born Hauck. But I typically would translate it as: née Hauck.

BaerbelJ

I see just "ei. geb." each time and also think it stands for "eine geborene" or "einer geborenen". The difference is the grammatical case, which you can't tell because of the abbreviations.

Tom Randolph

@JohnsonGreg Thanks! I don't know German well enough to know whether 'ein' makes sense in the phrase "Rachel ein geb. Hauck" -- does it make sense to you?

Tom Randolph

Thanks again! Let me just check with @Robert Seal_1 and @BaerbelJ if they have seen anything like it, too

Tom Randolph

@BaerbelJ, @Robert Seal_1 , Thanks both for helping to confirm that one.
