Notes
No. 7: the surname's middle letter is read once ("Wabmann" in the hand, the long s with a b-like stroke): a Wasmann/Waßmann of Linse, of the local Wasmann families (Closed Paths D8); whether Henrich Herman is the "Heinr. Harm Wasmann" of the 1781 Wasmann × Meier entry (Bild 114) or one of the Dohnsen Wasmanns (F347) is not settled. No. 6: an example of a surname changed by choice in this register (for file 01); no Deneke or Wesemann. Grade: STATED for the text; no identification graded.
