Hello Again: Can some kind soul help me with a translation problem? In an old German Lutheran Church there is a marriage register. The register is divided into columns. My problem is with the fifth column from the left. The one after Eltern/Parents. It is asking something about the marital status of the couple. Most entries have Ledig. which means unmarried. There are many entries that have what looks like: Verheueathet. there is a mark over the u, but it does not look lika an umlaut. Any assistance with this puzzle would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and effort. Martha Wurtele
