Hello,

Would you please translate the entire burial record for my 5 x great-grandfather (third entry from the bottom on left side) as found in the Württemberg, Germany, Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1985 database at Ancestry.com?

Hello @Kelly Rauch Hawver,

This record was already translated on 26 Dec 2021 by @Ulrich Neitzel. Here is Ulrich's translation:

Johannes Rauch, citizen and wainwright here, widower, died of chest fever and side stitches on the 6th of May in the evening at 8 o'clock, age 66 years, 3 months and 8 days, and was buried in christian manner thereupon on the 8th of the same month in the morning 11 o'clock, because of ___? house, before held sermon.

Ulrich: regarding the questionable phrase I can read the following: wegen engem? Raum des Hauses = because of tight/narrow space of the house?

Does this help in determining what this phrase means in the context of the record?

Hello @Kelly Rauch Hawver ,

I agree with the transcription of the missing phrase by @Robert Seal_1 , the exact meaning of it is still unclear to me, though.

@Ulrich Neitzel and @Robert Seal_1

I am so sorry to duplicate the request. I have FOUR Johannes Rauches in my direct line and a few others that are great uncles. I scanned my previous questions but did not see that THIS Johannes had already been translated.

Thank you both for your time and patience!

You're welcome, @Kelly Rauch Hawver.
