Title: 17th Century German
Post by: Lyrael on Sunday 29 December 19 02:58 GMT (UK)

Hi all,

Can anyone help me with this 17th Century German script? It is from a marriage record in 1694 in Kirchberg, Württemberg Germany.  I know it's supposed to be Hans Jacob Rommel and Barbara Neth (my ancestors) but I'm wondering if it says she was from Wolfsölden (or something similar).  I'm also wondering what it says is her father's name. Can anyone read it?

Thanks!

Thanks so much Dave!  :D


The sentence that's cut off on the larger clip is just the beginning of the next marriage record.
