Could the last two be 'néant' and 'neveu'?
I think that's most likely, thank you.

" á cinq heure du matin ..."?
Thank you. That was my thought but I wasn't certain.

Hi
I'm struggling with some words on this French death record, if someone could help with the highlighted words please.

The original record is to be found here:

Thanks in advance.

It's German. In this 'acte' the day of birth is 1 prairial an VII, so 20th May 1799.

Thank you for clearing up which language it is, and for the date.

I would say 2 Prairial an 7

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. There is a marginal note in the acte de naissance "20.5.99" which is pretty close.
I appreciate the offer to translate but it's a rather distant relative of someone I'm helping out, so no need, thanks.
I would be curious as to whether it's German or Alsacien though.

Thank you for that, you're right. Having looked again, I can see that George Hoff is actually on the next page.
But I'm still struggling with the date. Can you help with that?

Can anyone help with the birth date of George Hoff in Thal-Marmoutier please?
I can find it in the 10 year index but can't read the month.
A link to the original index page is here:

Here's a link to the Acte de naissance but the language looks more German / Alsacien to me.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your reply.
It's the marriage of Mathias Wachter and Catherine Müller.
The link to the acte is here:

In the acte de naissance of the couple's daughter in 1812 Mathias's profession is given as journalier, which doesn't pose a problem.
