Hello all! I am trying to understand a record at http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/lv/menu/lv/2/ig/15/ie/316/book/32842.html. This is a free website but requires registration. The record is for the Evangelical Lutheran book for Bialystok for 1862 on pg. 26 at no. 210. I am trying to determine whether my great-great-great-grandparents were the godparents of this child or the mother died and my great-great-great-grandparents adopted the child. The record does not mention the mother's name when all the birth records mention the mother's name. Friedrich Wilhelm Lamprecht, son of Carl Lamprecht,*********************** Hoffman and wife Pauline born Kraetzer. born in Suprasl on 25 November I would appreciate any help in filling in the blanks. I am struggling to connect my ancestor to the other Lamprechts from the Bialystok area. Thanks in advance! Vera
