Are these the same?

Hi Melissa,

So the mystery seems to be solved, somewhat
Just like I suspected, the February entry was indeed squeezed in retrospectively and the explanation that the priest forgot to strike out the January entry makes sense.

Can anyone make out the mother's maiden name for the wife to Heinrich Zaun?

Hello Melissa,

for every new reading help please open a new thread.

I read:

... ist Heinrich Zaun u. Anna Catharinae ein Sohn gebohren
u. getaufet Johann David aber Path ist Johann David Zaun

There is no maiden name written.

...My question is would it be common for the son that was names Jost Heinrich to be listed as Johan Heinrich on baptism records of his children...?...

Hello,
his name is Heinrich. The "name-prefix" Johann or Jost is not so important, hence it could have been mixed up.
Best regards

Hi all,


Ein klitzekleiner Korrekturvorschlag;
I suggest a tiny amendment;


Insead of "..... ABER Path ist...." it could simply read ".... DER Path ist ....."

The "d" is a bit smudged alright and one could read 'aber', but that does not make any sense in this kind of entry, does it?

Hello Anna Sara Weingart,

I consider this a totally unsubstantiated and confusing statement. Jost or Johann is not simply a "name-prefix" as you call it - it is a name in its own right. "Heinrich" might have been his preferred call name but I'm sure you have come across two or three or even four first names where only one of them is the call name by which the bearer of this name is commonly known. But the other names are not prefixes or affixes
