I am new to forum from USA. I found Friedrich Wilhelm Heldmann in the Westphalia/Lubbecke/Rahden funerals: http://www.archion.de/p/b01f300d78/ on photo 349.
Friedrich died 13 April 1858 at VARL 178.
The alphabetical register says 178 348 87.
I can guess at the information on many of the columns. Can someone explain the information in columns 4,5,6,7,8,9,10?
thank you

Hello,

one minor correction to Michael‘s reply:

Mittags 2 Uhr = 2 pm


Column headers are written in script type Fraktur.

You‘ll find various Fraktur character tables on the Web.

Thanks to all. Your english is great. Can I find which cemetery and plot number he is buried in? Is there a repository of wills or land records somewhere in Westphalia?
 
Henry,

you‘re correct to note that there is not special cemetery mentioned in this case. That said it most likely to assume that he was buried on the cemetery in Rahden.

Other than in the US and in some big German cities, you‘ll never find any plot number for a certain graveside on a specific cemetery in those old day.
Another thing to note is the fact that his grave will no longer exist.

The city archive of Rahden may have some land records (contact to be found by Web search for:

Stadtarchiv Rahden

Any still available wills -if any- may be found for the region of Westphalia among the holdings of the:

Landesarchiv Nordrhein-Westfalen

Hope that helps.

Best, Vera
 
Me again sorry,

I just noticed that you ancestor resided in Varl.

That said, he may be buried in Varl.
It needs to be verified since when Varl had its own cemetery!

(Sorry for the few typos at the beginning of my previous post.)
