• Notes

  Inwohner = occupation of something? Nicolaus Buchenröder, Michael's father, died before 16 February 1653 in Steinfeld. This I have already determined. It seems that Nicolaus was married twice, because in 1614 Dorothea was named as Claus Buchenröder's housewife. Kunigunda, née Kilian must therefore have died before. From Chip Kalb regarding the baptism of 30 May 1613 I’m sorry about the delay but this is a hard nut to crack.  Transcribing was easy except for two words — the occupation of Claus and his wife’s nickname. Although she was baptized as Kungunda, she was apparently known as Ernie, the usual nickname for German girls named either Ernestine or Erna.  As for her husband’s occupation, I read it as “brand Weketter” but the closest equivalent I could find was “brandweretter”, the Dutch word for “firefighter”.  Since the German word for fire is Brand, I’m going with “firefighter” because, in the 17th Century, fire departments looked to be fairly new.  They had actually been around since the Roman times but, for one reason or another, Europeans had had a hard time with staffing and maintaining them.  In fact, at that time ( 1613 ), Amsterdam was the only city in Europe with anything that looked like a fire department so the Dutch word was probably borrowed to the Germans understand the concept of the fire department — it was that new.  As for the date, I figured out that 30 May 1613 was Trinity Sunday in the Julian Calendar, which was still used by the Lutherans of Thuringia.  In the Gregorian Calendar, it was Sunday, 9 June 1613. The German transcription : — [16]13 den 30 Maÿ am — [ in festo T]rinitatis, Ist dem Michael — [vo]n Steinfeldt ein Jūnge Tochter — weden, brand Weketter Claūs — chenröder daselbst, sonst der Ernie Claūs’s gennandt sein Ehrliche Haūsfraue Kūngūnda The English translation : [ In the year of Our Lord 16]13 on 30 May, on [ the feast day of the T]rinity, is the Michael — of Steinfeld a young daughter —, firefighter Claus [Bu]chenröder there, as well as Ernie [ for either Erna or Ernestine ] Claus’s lawfully wedded housewife known as Kungunda
