Please see the only source attached to this child….I cannot determine gender nor read the notes…..bottom of the page on the right….thank you!

The note under the child column says "a stillborn girl who was buried on 16 December before the ??" I cannot read the last word. Maybe someone else can.

Under the Father's name it says he is a Vicar from Kölpin. (the occupation is written as "Statthalter"; Thodes also gives an alternate translation of Statthalter as "governor".)

Under the mother's name it gives her birth date as 22 October, 1846

Now I am confused….I thought she was born on the 14th and baptized on the 16th of Dec?

JohnsonGreg

The birth of the stillborn child was 14 Dec 1872. The indexer misread 16 Dec as a baptism but there was no baptism; 16 Dec was the burial date.

The last column reads -

Ein todgeborenes Mädchen wel=

ches am 16. Decbr. beerdigt wor=

den ist

so just like @JohnsonGreg translated - "a stillborn girl who was buried on the 16th of December"

Thank you so much!!! The indexing was incorrect, that's what threw me…..thanks again!!!!!
