What's the abbreviation for the godmother in this 1757 birth record ?
1757 birth record for Anna Catherina Roeller in Mühlhofen in the Pfalz. The abbreviation is in the circle: a 'C' or 'E' or 'S'? And what would it mean?
I'm chuffed to find my own solid English/Norman surname 'Randolph' for one of the witnesses -- didn't know it also existed in Germany!

I think it is a small "s" for seine. (seine ehel[iche] Haußfrau just means "his wife"; it has nothing to do with her birth).
