Ottenbach ZH - 1679 - Bevölkerungsverzeichnisse - religious abbreviations
Fourth document.
I just found this list which may be helpful in understanding the abbreviations used in Bevölkerungsverzeichnisses. I posted it on Ludwig's page because he has a few Bevölkerungsverzeichnisses.
If you think what we have done already is enough you can skip this. If this looks good great. Let me know what you think.

Based on the film number I assume this is from the 1670 record - correct?

WSeelentag Impressive!! 😇 I'm curious if you think this is a better list than the one we used before? I think it is but I bow to your superior expertise.
Yes this was from Ottenbach 1670. The moment I saw it I thought it looked complete and I liked the format the Pastor Hans Ulrich Wiesendanger chose.
This must have taken quite a while to transcribe and translate. Having had some small translations done and having talked to Robert Seal about the process he uses, I know translating a list like this is a formidable task. Thanks! You continue to amaze me!
Let me know what you think. KG

I don't think either is better than the other one - they are different, both with their advantages. Different pastors may also have used some of their own "creations" - so the more of them we see, the better. Have you got copies of other such lists?

No but now I know you are interested, I will look. It is a read blessing to have so many Bevölkerungsverzeichnisses for Ottenbach. I never thought of compiling them for a family member without a death date to get an idea of when they died. In any case I will look for more. Thanks for your diligence in working with them!!😉
