Transcription Help with Two Related Baptisms

charbayes · Donnerstag um 22:42

Can I please get some help with these two related baptisms associated with my ancestor? Christian's baptism in 1748 seems to make some sort of note referring to the 1746 baptism of his sibling?

This is what I can decipher:

Thank you so much for your help!

This is very interesting.

Would the "see also 1746 17 Aug" note suggest that both Catrien and Andres had the same unnamed mother? Or does that note simply mean that Gottfrried (the father) was still not divorced from his first wife?

vnagel2004 · Gestern um 00:03

Catrien's mother is named in that record > Anita Geissen / Geiss

....fathered in fornication [illegitimately] with....

confer / see also simply refers to the previous record = another illegitimate child of this father

Whether the father still wasn't divorced in 1748 and had therefore not been able to get married to this mother's child in time, or if he was already divorced but simply wasn't married to this mother's child is not clearly differentiable from this entry for me.

Correction: not Geissen or Geiss ----- but instead: Geistens / Geist

Please excuse my mistake.

Thank you for the clarification! I was thinking that the first wife was Anita Geist - not the mother of Catrien. This is so interesting!

My ancestor is Christian Andres Maehling - the 1748 baptism. Could I infer that his mother is also Anita Geist? Since his record referred to the 1746 baptism?

To be honest: I am kind of reluctant to consent to this.

Are the any later born (after 1748) legitimate(!) children of Johann Gottfried Mehling / Maehling?

Or, did you find his marriage?

Unfortunately, it looks like marriages in Krien on Archion start in 1766. Does that mean that earlier marriages have been lost to time?

These are the only two children that I could find, but I will keep digging. It seems that Christian Andres stayed in this parish - his children were baptized in Crien as well. Still looking for his marriage as well.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I have learned so much from you!

Today I've spent some time with the church registers for Krien, in hopes to perhaps find any additional entries for this Mehling / Maehling family, which may shed some additional light on that "marriage yes / no question" being discussed above.

So far I haven't been successful, sorry.

In 1775 I came across a baptism of Christian Andres [Andreas] Maehling's child.

Do you know when and where he got married?

I appreciate this greatly!

This is what I have put together:

Christian Andreas Maehling firstly married Margareth Marie Wollers. No marriage has been located so far unfortunately; I have looked in Krien, Iven, Anklam, Kartlow, Liepen, Teterin, and Gramzow so far. They had at least two children:

1) Moritz Friederich Maehling - 20 Apr 1775 - Krien
2) Christine Julienne Maehling - 20 Jun 1777 - Krien

Christian Andreas Maehling secondly married Marie Dorthie Schulten on 02 May 1794 in Dennin. They had at least six children. So, I have a gap between 1777 and 1794 as well with him.

Here is the 1794 marriage: https://www.archion.de/p/6766dd6384/

Does this marriage record give any helpful information?

Not really.

He was a widower when he remarried in 1794, being 46 years old (> which leads to a calculated year of birth 1748 - being a "perfect match" with his proven year of birth) and the record provides his place of birth as "Crien" [Krien]

And the death / burial record of his first wife on February 8, 1794 also doesn't provide anything "of special interest".

Thank you for finding his first wife's death record! I hadn't been able to find that.

Do you mind helping me with a transcription of his 1794 marriage? I'm trying to record every detail that I can find. I can see:

2 May: Christian Andrees Maehling [...] ([...] Crien (?) [...]) und Marie Dorthie Schulten [...] Casper Schulten [...] Dennin [...] 46 jahs 27 jahs

Thank you for the tip! I didn't realize that the columns gave helpful information. I appreciate you explaining all of this. I am new to German records, but I find this fascinating.

That is interesting that she is listed as a virgin.

I found this record in Dennin. I believe that this is a baptism record of a baby of the same Marie Dorthie Schulten in 1792 before she was married to Christian Andreas in 1794. Again, I'm frustrated that I cannot transcribe these entries myself successfully.

To me, if this is her, then she was not a virgin before marrying Christian Andreas?
