German 1680 Marriage Record
« on: Tuesday 30 May 23 15:54 BST (UK) »
I have a German marriage record from 1680, attached.  I'm fairly sure it says that Gorg Steffan Kornmann, the son of Barthel Kornmann, married Magdalena Kummers.  All of the words after "Magdalena Kummers" are a mystery to me.  The folks on this forum are real life savers. Please work your magic one more time if you would be so kind!  Thanks in advance!

hinterlassene Tochter ehelich copuliert worden.

surviving daughter legitimately married

davecapps, Thank You so much!  "Berner Gebieth" is fascinating.  I've seen that (and "Berner Gebiet") and ""Berner Gebieths") in some other places, always (I think) in the context of Bern, Switzerland.  Bern is about 320 km from Walsheim, where this record is from.  A "surviving daughter" from Bern, Switzerland?  Hmm.  Or is there a "Berner" Area in Germany?

There´s no Berner area in Germany that i know of, this should be Bern, Switzerland
Gebieth is the old spelling for Gebiet
