Have a few names posted at http://newhamburg.org/ads/1.html Unable to discern these few. They should all be German names. Although #3 is awkward because there was a Ruiz family in the area 25 years later and it does look very much like it starts with Rui. Although I'm thinking #4 is Jacob Wagner, I don't understand the circumflex above the middle of Jacob Any help always appreciated JK
