Help Translating a Name in a man 1883 German Marriage Rec

Familysearcher1

Greetings All! Can you possibly

help me decipher the name of the Bride’s father on this 1883 German marriage rec?

I can make out the 2nd name—it is Anton—but the first name eludes me. I think the first 4 letters are “schi” & I believe the last letter is “s” but other than that, I am at a loss!

any and all help in this will be greatly appreciated!

thx,

julia S.

The word in front of his name is actually his trade.

"Der verstorbene (deceased) Spinner Anton Hattich"

Hello @Familysearcher1,

I don't read the word before "Anton" as a name but as an occupation: Schinner = skinner, flayer, renderer.

Here is a transcription of the phrase about the bride's parents:

"Tochter des verstorbenen Schinners Anton Hattich und dessen verstorbenen Ehefrau Magdalena geborenen Herb, beide wohnhaft zu letzt zu Joinville"

Translation: daughter of the deceased skinner Anton Hattich and his deceased wife Magdalena, née Herb, both last living at Joinville.

Oh my, thank you for clearing that up! so I was right about the first 4 letters being schi, and the last letter being “s”; the parents were both dead when Barbara married, how sad. Thx for helping me with this!! she is my grandmother 3 generations back, so grateful to be able to learn more about all of them!

@Familysearcher1 We are so glad you have joined our German community - It is a great place to get help and to help others!  We have a lot of talented, experienced participants here.

Most of the time, it is best to use "ask a question" - do this by selecting the arrow to the right of "new discussion".  Asking a question allows you to accept the answer or let us know you would like more help. (I was able to change this post to a question for you.)

Be sure to review the links at the top of our community page for some great resources.  We look forward to hearing from you.  We are so glad you are part of this great community!

Thanks for being patient as we sometimes must wait for a response to come from a volunteer with the needed skill set.  It is always good if you include the identification number of the person in question in Family Search Family Tree so we can see the bigger picture.

We look forward to your comments and questions.

Enjoy today! Cindy Jarvis
