Notes

On the last name: Some sources show Ittig and others show Edick. Eventually Ittig was replaced by Edick which is the Anglicized version of Ittig.

On Christian's birth month, several genealogical publications have his birth month as Sept but the church record shows Nov, which makes sense as all the other children of Christian and Margaretha had their children baptized 2 weeks after their birth.

On the Marriage Record, Elizabeth Empey is noted as Elizabeth Empiche but the several genealogical publications have her last name as Empey.

On Find A Grave, they have the September birth month rather than the November.
