While most seem to have been German, I've spotted some alternative spellings and word-uses that only make sense if read as if they were translated Latin/Italian, making me think some of the priests between the 1500 and 1600s may had Italian origins, and not just Latin and/or Italian training. | |
| Oct 12, 2021 at 4:30 | comment | added | BrianFreud | The 'gk' observation is new to me, though in retrospect I've seen it in the early records and overlooked it; if that was a practice in the 1500-early 1600s, it wasn't one that continued in the later 1600 and onwards. The "en" for females, however, seems to have (with rare exceptions) continued right up until the standardization of surnames without modifications was made law. In the particular case of "Brunswiegk", it standardized, for males, to "Braunschweig". One consideration, however, is that the priests seem... | |

If there's indeed a bleed-through, which can easily be so, then the name could also be Herzogen. I noticed there's an alternation between -gk to -en ending for females, see above Balzer Brunswiegk vs Anna Brunswiegen. | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 0:39 | comment | added | BrianFreud | I'm wondering if I may have over-enhanced the faded bits on the 2nd line. On most other lines, the 2nd line is indented, starting about the "t" in "Item". If the first bit on that second line is actually bleed-through, and we assume the second line doesn't actually start until the letter after the dot that might be an "i"... It also looks like there was a below-baseline letter in the middle of the first name, so "Cattrina" doesn't quite fit. Could the name be "Cathrina Herzo<br>ggen"? | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 20:31 | comment | added | CuriousM | The name in 1576 seems to be Herzogk or Hertzogk, I'm not sure if there's t in the middle there, or is it just Herzog and Wezel. It is indeed similar and quite possible, but then it would be just Herzo or Herze. I'm also thinking if the ending of the name might actually be something else, not a name at all, for example the place where the pride was from, if she wasn't local. It's a strange way of continuing a name to the next line. | |

| Oct 5, 2021 at 15:24 | comment | added | BrianFreud | I've found two birth records from 1576 where the surname looks very much like at least the first half of the name here. I can't read either scribble, but perhaps it's helpful? | |
| Oct 5, 2021 at 14:00 | comment | added | BrianFreud | You're right, "Novembris" is readable 2 entries above, as well as in the entry below - I'm not sure why I'd been thinking decembris. I've not seen the name "Christina" use in the area, but "Cattrina", or at least variations thereof, would fit. I'd been reading the surname as starting with a "J", but I can see the "B". the 4th or 5th letter looks more to be a "z" to my eye, but I can see where you're thinking "th". I don't know of any surnames from the area at the time that fit either surname pattern, but I'll give it another look. | |
