Name help please Austrian document
« on: Sunday 14 January 18 21:44 GMT (UK) »
In the middle column -
Namen de Beerdigten, the first burial is for Schweighofer, Johann, underneath him, it appears to be another Schweighofer, but I cannot make out the christian name - seems to end in *ving? 
Burial date, 6/5/1942.  And the line underneath that name - "m' Culigts'  v 9/27? 

Obviously not right, but my eyes just can't make sense of it.  Any help with this Austrian document would be very much appreciated

The 3rd burial on the page is Joseph Patrick Laverty, my great Uncle, a soldier, that married one of the daughters of Johann Schweighofer while stationed there.

Nothing comes up when the paper clip attachment symbol is pressed.
Have you attached the record you need a little help with?
Viktoria.
P.S..it is now visible.Can't make it out though.

Are you sure the person named Laverty  isn't called Joan?
Sorry to be of no real help. What dreadful handwriting.

hi Viktoria, sorry for the confusion over the attachment, the original was in PDF format, and I didn't realize that it wouldn't automatically be visible on the post.  So I did a quick jpeg capture and amended my post   :)

Yes, I'm sure the third name is for Joseph Laverty, even though it appears to read "Joan" , there are CWGC documents that note his burial in the same plot, and other funeral home papers that confirm as well. 

Thanks for having a stab at it.  Deb

I think the name ends in vig rather that ving - compare it to the ig in the first Schweighofer

Where is the burial?  I'm guessing it's somewhere in Germany but what city/town?  Are they Second World War casualties?

What sort of age was Johann?

Do you think the one below is a brother or some other relation?

I'm with you on that.

Ludwig?  Hedwig?

hmmm interesting that you would guess Hedwig, as there IS a Hedwig Schweighofer buried in the same cemetery, daughter of the above Johann Schweighofer, she died of tuberculosis in 1934 age 13 years, buried April 7, 1934.
But seeing as this interment  is 1942, it can't be the same Hedwig.  Maybe another daughter named after her?  Interesting.

Johann was born 1894, so age 47 at time of death, he was listed in other documents as a 'magazine worker'  He was survived by his Wife - Theresia (m.s. unknown) who eventually moved to Scotland and died in Fife in 1987.

Where did you get the image from?  Was there any kind of typewritten name index for you to search for the name?

no index unfortunately.  I received the image from the funeral home that is attached to the cemetery in Austria.  Unfortunately, the gravestone no longer exists to get a transcript or picture, the plot was sold in 1983 to a new family and the old headstones were not kept. 

I am leaning toward the Hedwig or Ludwig theory, it could be either of those names very likely!
