Hallo,
I am seeking translation or transcription help with the baptism entry on the top, left page: Henrietta Elisabetha Philippina WITZACK? Father: Eberhardt Wilhelm Witzack. Mother: Dorothea Elisabetha Hëyn? I am also interested in the godparents.
My 3rd great-grandmother (Hendrina WETSACK or WITTSACK) was born Catholic, illegitimately in Kleve in 1780 and her father was named in the entry as Wilm WETSACK. I am wondering if I can tie Eberhardt Wilhelm Witzack to my family tree. It seems plausible that the correct spelling of his name was not known in Kleve. And it is possible he is the father of my Hendrina Wetsack. I realize that if he is, in fact, the father of Hendrina - I may never be able to prove this. But my search has been ongoing for many years. Thank you for any assistance.
Regards,
Ellen
