10) Expect "translation" in the Hollenbach transcript refers to the early years of the original, from German. Parts of the work still exhibit some German, eg. geboren, or geb.(born), getauft or get.(baptized), die eltern (the parents). We give birth date records preference over death date records or gravestone inscriptions.
