Translation request

J Edwards

Hello,

Can anyone help with the translation of this marriage record from 1801?

Many thanks in advance

Thank you for the information!

Here is the translation:

On the 30th of June were married Balthasar Siebel, widower, and Magdalena Koebel. Witnesses that it was done according to the law were Johann or Johannes [ both Joannes in Latin] Koebel and Peter Altbach.

I noticed that several people looked at the image without actually attempting a translation. These suggestions may help.

1. Rather than posting a couple of lines out of context and without a source, post a link to the record and include the source [parish, archive] to enable others to compare letters and words across one or more pages.
2. If you post an image, make sure it is high quality so that it can be enlarged, and include several entries to allow letter comparisons.

This is not a hard record, but the intertwined script and small image make it difficult to decipher the pertinent details. Community members are happy to translate this record for you if you can provide a link to the page or a better copy.

It's also helpful to the translator to state the names of the principals and where the record is from (i.e., village, town, city, parish, etc.).

See the following helpful tips on how to ask a question or post a request for translation:

1. Please state where the record is from.
2. State the name(s) of the principal(s) in the record.
3. If possible attach the image and the link to the image.
4. Attach one image per translation request.
5. Once the request is posted, please review it to (a) make sure it makes sense to the reader; (b) the image is attached; (c) the image is legible (this should be checked before posting, too).
6. If you have a large number of requests, please post one or two at a time; wait for a response; then post one or two more.
7. Please post the entire image instead of a snippet.
8. Please crop the image to see the entire page. It helps the translator to see the whole context and offers more material for comparison with the scribe's style of writing.
9. Remember to thank the Responder.
10. If you like the response, give the Responder a "Like".
11. Please post as "Ask as a Question" (Down arrow next to "New Discussion) and when the post is answered go back and mark as "Answered".

Note that these tips are always available at the homepage of the Germany Research Community under the heading "Announcements."

I posted the names earlier but they don’t seem to be here.

the marriage, in Ilbenstadt, was between Baltasar Siebel and Magdalena Kobel.

the reference for the record is in my earlier request, but the record is not available online . A kind member of this community copied this record on a trip to a Family Search Centre, therefore I can not improve the quality I’m afraid.

I will look back at my earlier post and copy the record reference.

Thank you for all your advice.

Many thanks! Magdalena Kobel from Ilbenstadt was my husband’s 3x great grandmother.

mad always, thank you for the help given selflessly by members of Family Search 😊
