    1. [Ortenau] Official gazette in Baden
    2. Wendelin Irslinger
    3. Hello, in the next weeks (and maybe months) I'll post information from an official gazette in Baden. It contains information about people in public services but also some others (like inhabitants of Gamshurst who went to jail). I do not translate it to English language but if you need a translation for a special entry, please ask. One interesting detail: Every county (Amt) had not only a physician but also at least one surgeon (Chirurg, Wundarzt) at the beginning of the 19th century. These surgeons had often an education as obstetritian, and some also as a veterinarian. The Baden surgeons who wanted an education as an obstetritian had to observe an practical course of least half an year in the maternity home in Heidelberg since 1816. Happy New Year, Wendelin
