Old German Script - 1875 - Help please!

[Karen McDonald]

It says verwittwerte Schulz - widowed Schulz, i.e. her married name was Schulz, but her husband had died. And then she had a kiddy, without having married again.

Thanks Karen!! I had a feeling it was referring to her subsequent marriage but we could not decipher that old script.

To clarify - the "verwittewerte Schulz" reference is on a document years later, the marriage record of the child in question. That's all he puts for his parents.

[Karen McDonald]

Aha, okeydokey. In that case, it probably means she later married Mr Schulz after having had the little boy as an unmarried young woman.

What surname does the child use (in his marriage doc)?

He uses the name Schornstadt. His marriage was Jan 1898. His first child had been born 4 months before. We imagine he tried to get married before the birth but discovered that his name was actually registered as Schorstein which was incorrect. So he had the record officially corrected and then married. The couple went on to have at least 8 other children.

As an aside, now we can look for the marriage of Auguste and Mr. Schutz because maybe her parents are listed in it. Exciting!!

[davecapps]

Where did Ferdinand marry

[AcadianJoan]

Schwartow, Lauenberg, Germany.

5 Jan 1898.

I found the record at Metryki.GenBaza.pl
AP-Gdansk
Zwartowo_2126 / 0056_1898_sl / _10_2126_0_56_0001.JPG

I'm still not clear on if I can post the entire record because it's watermarked. I'd be happy to do so or I can post part of it.

Thanks for your interest.
