Introduction:
This transcription should be considered a secondary source of genealogical information. Since this book is a transcription of old German script, every effort has been made to accurately present the names and words as spelled by the original writer. But mistakes have occurred because of the difficulty to read the writing and the similarity of some alphabet letters to each other. At times a person has to look at the entire word before understanding each individual letter. The spelling of a village’s name is as written in the original volumes, which is, at times, different from the current spelling.
Words in straight parentheses [ ] have been added by the transcriber, in an attempt to define the word (in the case of an abbreviation) and / or to give its English meaning. Or to give an alternative spelling. To aid in the correctness of the names, cross referencing was accomplished between marriages and baptisms. Thus these cross references are also given in parentheses. A question mark “?” means uncertainty. The source for definitions is the “German – English Genealogical Dictionary” by Ernest Thode, fifth printing in 2003, ISBN 0-8063-1342-0. Mr. Thode’s “Introduction” is a must read for people doing Germanic genealogy.
