Title: Need your help with german handwriting, 18th century of a Czech Town
Post by: kroata on Sunday 22 May 16 12:43 BST (UK)
Please help if you can understand what is written in a red circle here. It's a church record from a Czech town in 18th century, written in German. I think the last word is supposed to be a name of a village or town.

Welcome to Rootschat.
I have no expertise,so the following is speculation.
Could it be a variant of Freiwaldau,equivalent to Jesenik,according to this list?

Welcome to rootschat!

The first line is straight forward enough: Jägerjung = a trainee or junior hunter.

The second line starts with v for von = from, but I can't make out the first letter.

Can you scan a larger portion from register, so that I can compare letters, and, more importantly, tell us the name of the town?

Hello

The last line seems to be "von Primelkau ", a German translation of Přķmělkov.

Hey, thank you all very much for welcoming me and for helping me, I'll try to find records from these places you've written, and check if I can find this person there.  :)

This is a link of the page from a church record, a town called Bře˛any u Znojma: http://actapublica.eu/matriky/brno/prohlizec/1115/?strana=5
