I believe the transcriptions are on the Olive Tree Genealogy site. Probably Lorine could tell you if there are any original images available. The Johannes with and without the h would be the same name. Lots of old records had inconsistencies with the spellings of both surnames and given names. I am not positive if Jonathan is a substitute for Johannes.
