Notes
> Der Kinder Verwandte — relatives of the children — is the single most valuable phrase in the batch. The clerk states outright that the Wasmanns and the Bönigs of Dohnsen were kin by 1718, sixteen years before the Wasmann–Bönig marriage of Bild 187. > > Whether the kinship runs through blood or through an earlier marriage is not stated.
