I especially appreciate a reader that was willing to translate a German Record for me. I was grateful when I received a translation of the above image, from one of my blog readers, Rafael.  What a generous reader! Here is the translation below along with Rafael's notes.  Thank you so much, Rafael.

1. I’m 90% certain that the handwritten abbreviation that comes at the end of each family member’s entry is evang., which means ‘Protestant’ and makes perfect sense in context.

2. The handwritten entry for the father’s profession is unclear. The first half of the word may well be ‘Firms-’ (meaning ‘company,’ in the sense of a commercial enterprise or business), so the father could have been involved with a business of some kind.

3. I’ve translated the German word Kreis as ‘district’ here, but it can also be translated as ‘county,’ since either word can signify an administrative subdivision of a province or state.
