Berliner Sterbeurkunde von 1892

[rsgriffis]

I'm having trouble deciphering the writing on this 1892 death certificate, which refers to the parents of one of my ancestors. I figured out some of certificate, but have trouble with the entry after "born to." Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

My apologies. That was a link to an Ancestry.com page, which requires a subscription. Please try this link:

Thank you so much! There were a few words in there that I couldn't decipher. I wonder why her father's last name would be given as a diminutive ( 'chen)?

 

[vnagel2004]

There is no diminutive form of any name, sorry.

The ending is: schen —— not: chen!
It‘s essential to be very precise here, thanks.

„Schmidtschen Eheleute“ translates to English as: (the married) couple Schmidt

I apologize, but German is not my native language, and I was just trying to figure it out. In my online research, I found multiple sources that said schen / chen was characterized as a diminutive. In English, there are diminutive forms of many names, including my own. It is not an insult, merely a name for a part of speech. I'm not trying to offend; I'm simply doing the best I can as a genealogist and historian who cannot speak German. I'm being as precise as I can. Why would a moderator chastise me for trying to learn?

Good evening,

nobody is chastising you, or even in any so minor way trying to do so. Sorry.
You‘re always welcome.

However, „schen“ -contrary to „chen“!- in German does not indicate any diminutive form.

Or in other words „schen“ is no variation of / is not equal to „chen“, I am sorry.

I‘d really be interested to learn about the sources you consulted telling something different. - Please contact me by PN since this clearly goes beyond the scope of this thread.

Thank‘s in advance.
