Reading German Parish Register
« on: Sunday 08 February 09 17:13 GMT (UK) »
I have just been to the local Family Search centre and looked at what I hope is our ancestor's baptism record. Only problem is that I can't read the record very well and there is no printing facility so I took a (bad) photo with my mobile phone. Can anybody help me read what is written here?
Thanks!

Hi Aylene,

not sure what I can decipher:

Mutter (Mother): Margaretha A......
with                  : Johan George Auer

Gutenberg (?)

Can't make out anything else at the moment!

Maybe the second word for the female is: Annemarie (a)

For the old writing I know that the "u" is written with the  squiggel above the "u" to say that it is a "u" otherwise  it would be seen as an "n".....

if you understand what I mean ???

thanks for the input, as far as I know the mother usually uses her maiden name on these registers, so I think it is a different surname and not Auer.
Tomorrow I will post the rest of the entry, I think it is witnesses names (if I understood it and maybe it will be possible to see a similar surname to the mothers)
Thanks again!

Margaretha's name is Auerin. The ending "in" shows it's a female. Some European languages still
change the ending of a surname for males and females.

Thanks for the info. The other records that I saw seemed to show the woman's maiden name rather than married name, but I suppose she could have had the same name!
Attached are the next image from my phone - sorry about the quality!

Yes the first one was easier, I would also be grateful for a translation of the headings too if anybody can make them out.
I was hoping to print the records but was told that they are not having the printer repaired because all the church records are being digitalised and will be online in the not so distant future.
Would be wonderful!
