    1. [HESSE] Some help on a record please
    2. 1771 Assenheim Chiruch baptism list. "2 Feb abend [blank] Uhr <O?>rachte Johannetta Engelbachin mit einen unehelich Sohn (ein der) zur?velt. 3 d. m. empfieng er in der H. Kauf von dem Jsenburg<f> Gerichts ßn?cht Joh. Bernhard Kraus den Nahmen Joh. Bernhard den Vater sol? sei<g/p/q>n ein Handwerk Soldat in Hanau Friederich <Schalz>berg unter des Maior Deyen Compagnie." Johannetta Elisabetta was 23 at this time. I've tried to fill in some guess in the letters I'm unsure about. The capital Hs look like they could be Ls. What the heck could the H. Kauf phrase be about? I'm guessing, she naming Friederich Schalzberg as the father. There's a note that Bernhard died 19 Mar 1848 in the side margin. I have a picture of this, but it's quite large (a 10MP camera). I'll try shrinking down the resolution to a reasonable size (in case anyone wants to see it). Thanks, Brian
