Notes

Re-read at 5x: "Jacobs" is underlined, the clerk's mark for the surname, so "Wasman" may be the given name. The baptisms have "Wasmann Jacob" at Dohnsen in 1592–1593 (F438).

Addendum: F442 (2).

Grade: Stated (words); the family possible.

*Conventions: [ ] editorial addition; [?] uncertain reading; [..] or […] illegible or outside the crop; dates as the register gives them (Julian before 1700).
