Marriage of Carl Bauch and Anna Braun

I’ve been working on translating the parish record for the marriage of Carl Bauch and Anna Braun on 28 November 1837, Rawitsch, Posen, Prussia.

My continuing adventures trying to translate 19th-century German parish records without knowing German. This a great record, full of interesting details and categories of information I’ve never seen in a parish marriage record before. Unfortunately, by the time the translation was complete, I realized Carl Bauch and Anna Braun were not ancestors of mine.

I found the index entry for this marriage in the FamilySearch Germany Marriages, 1558-1929 database and discovered the actual record on microfilm. Too bad they aren’t related!
