Register index, letter W: Linse Kirchenbuch 1854–1875 (the only W page of the volume)

Transcript and translation

Uncertain readings are marked [?] or set in brackets; words that could not be read are marked as such. Each transcript is shown as written, with its transcriber’s notes.

Transcription (German)

[Index, W:] Wesemann, Georg Ludwig, 215; Wesemann, Caroline Ernst. Luise, 217; Wesemann, Heinrich Wilh., 219. [Other surnames on the page:] Willmer (7 entries), Warneke (4), Weitenauer (2), Wagner, Wulff, Wall[baum?]. No Waßmann, Waßemann or Wasmann.

Translation (English)

The W page has four page columns: baptisms (about pp. 1–60), confirmations (about 129–135), marriages (about 171–190) and deaths (about 215–236). It holds three Wesemann entries, all deaths, all already in Chapter 2: Georg Ludwig (p. 215, December 1855), Caroline Ernestine Luise (p. 217, March 1858) and Heinrich Wilhelm (p. 219, 1861). Twenty entries in all; no Waßmann-spelled entry.

Notes

This is the only W page for the volume (Paul, check 4), so the index holds no Waßmann-spelled entry for Linse 1854–1875.

The bride test fails: George's aunt Christiana Friederike Minna ("Luise") Waßemann, married Leßing in 1858 in this volume (Bild 35), is not on the page; marriages are indexed under the groom. Baptisms, confirmations and deaths are indexed under the person's own name.

Index-level negatives hold for baptisms, confirmations and deaths.

Grade: Index (stated). Negative for the household at index level; marriages negative on the register (Paul).
