Help deciphering old German Script please
« on: Saturday 29 May 21 12:52 BST (UK) »
Hello

On 11th May I posted a request for help translating an old German Script, Justin was able to help me but unfortunately I was unable to get more clarity to the word above Wittwe (Widow). I have managed to enlarge slightly and hoping someone could help.  Many thanks for any assistance. E

Morning Dave

The headings on the register were:
Bezirks No -Number of region,district.
Nomen der Einwohner Name of residents.
Stand - rank status condition

so she was listed as a widow under STAND column,  but I cant make up what they have written above widow,

Hi Dave

The headings are as follows -

Bezirks No - Number of region, district

Namen der Einwohner - Name of residents

Then  -
Stand  - rank, status, condition   (this is where she is listed as widow with that elusive word above.

Next column is

Geburtstag, monat, jahr - date of birth

and last column is

Bemerkung -  comment,remark , note

Hi,
had a look at this and asked around a bit.
They all think it is Jäger above Wittwe.
Seems she was married to a guy called Jäger.

Under Bemerkung
dient zu Berlin - served or worked in Berlin

Regards
Dave
