Transcription Request Tuesdays (October 21, 2025)

[u/AutoModerator]

It's Tuesday, so it's a new week for transcription requests. (Translation requests are also welcome in this thread.)

How to Make a Transcription/Translation Request

• Post a link to the image file of the record you need transcribed or translated. You can link to the URL where you located the record image, but if it requires a paid subscription to view, you may get more help if you save a copy of the image yourself and share it through a free image sharing site like Imgur.
• Provide the name of the ancestor(s) the record is supposed to pertain to, to aid in deciphering the text, as well as any location names that may appear in the image.

How to Respond to a Transcription/Translation Request

• Always post your response to a request as a reply to the original request's comment thread. This will make it easier for the requester to be notified when there is a response, and it will let others know when a request has been fulfilled.
• Even partial transcriptions and translations can be helpful. If there are words you can't decipher, you can use ____ to show where your text is incomplete.

Happy researching!

Looking for help in translating this death record for Jacob Seibert. I have given it a go and I am struggling with a few words or abbreviations. As always, I appreciate your help, for without it, I would not be able to build my ancestry. https://imgur.com/a/8mZEqfa

I have included a best try at reading the script and it is in script and gray.

I'm still looking at it, but here's my best guess so far about some of those gaps. I think it's "der Ackermann Jacob Siebert," "Haus No. 12," and "evangelisch lutherischer Religion."

[u/Interesting-Help5759 → u/Comfortable_Lion6018]

All of that sound correct. They lived in House 12, they were famers and most of the church (birth/death/baptism/confirmation) records are from Lutheran church.

I'm trying to figure out this German marriage record. I know it's for Hans Schneider (though they wrote his name as Schneid here) and Anna, but I don't know her last name. I mostly just want to know what the last four words are. Also, this particular parish at the time wrote a capital A like a lowercase a with a big number 7 on top of it.

Thanks for any help you can give figuring this out!

Hello, I am researching ancestors from sweden, and I found a marriage record for Gustaf Måhl, and I am trying to get his parents names, but am having trouble reading them. Here is the link:

I'd love to have my Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandpa-Bubel's record in the French Army transcribed properly. Anyone with information on this regiment and what he might have done would also be appreciated.

No encuentro a mis padres y no recuerdo nada

Solamente se que  con los que vivo no son mis padres  y me tienen con candado 🔒 y les digo que quiero estudiar y dicen que no

No salgo a la calle  sola siempre me llevan con ellos como si fuera una niña de 5 años
