Could I please get a translation of two German documents?

Question

This is the baptism record of Andreas Schmehl (on archion.de) and this is the marriage record of his parents (on archion.de).

I need transcriptions and translations of both documents. You can see the records (but not the documents) on familysearch.

Thank you so much, Dieter. When I look at those documents, I can make out some words but not others. It reminds me of looking at old deeds from North Carolina. Because I can read English, I can "fill in the blanks" when the words are hard to make out. Since I can't read German, I can't do the same with these.

One question. Why is Juliana's surname Resickin but her father's name is Resicke? Does that have something to do with gender in the German language?

---

It is a female ending, it was oficially used in Germany until the end of the 18th century. In some German areas it is still used today in the spoken language. For female endings the use today i.e. in Bavaria -in, in Swabian -e, in the Alemanic area -i, in the Vogtland -n, in North Germany -sche.

Thank you. I suspected as much.

Answer 2

Hi Andreas!

Can you provide a link to a scan of the actual records (plus the parish/church)? I have some experience in deciphering German records and would like to help if I can.

Kind regards, Jens

Jens, the links were in the original post. They point to archion.de, which is a subscription service.

Hi Andreas!
Thank you for the replay. I realized that the link was in the original post, and I know archion very well (but have no active ccount at the moment). But thought it would be more easy to add a scan if the link leads to a record behind a pay wall so that it could not be check by some of us. Glad that Dieter was able to help in such a very accurate way!

Kind regards and good luck/sucess!
Jens
