Hey All! I am hoping someone can help me decipher a German placename. In the photo are two names I believe to be "Maria Catherina" and "Jacob Kapp" (though perhaps there is an extra letter at the end of 'Kapp'?). Listed under each name I believe is their birthplace or from where they came but I cannot make it out. It may help to know that this photo is from a family register in Nabern, Württemberg though I am fairly certain the two names are not from there. Perhaps close by? Any ideas what these words are?

Thank You in advance!

Cheers,
Jack (great-great-great-great-grandson of this Jacob KAPP)

The names appear correct. Underneath I get Jagd. Soldat and can not get the rest.

Thank you. I may have found the answer in someone else's tree. They have the place listed as 'Gültstein'. I think that may be it.

Hi, it reads
"Maria Catharina, Jacob Kapps,
Tagl.[öhners] Tochter, ... "
(the last word is difficult to read without a context)
(the "s" in means "of", Tochter=daughter)

"Maria Catharina, daughter of Jacob Kapp,
day laborer, ... "

Thanks alois897. Perhaps this picture, showing more of the register page can provide more context. I believe the word under "Jacob Kapp" is the same word that appears in the upper left where his birthdate is listed. I surmise that the word is "Gültstein".

Your transcription though intrigues me because the section I am discussing is under 'Mother' with nothing listed under 'Father'. Therefore, your transcription may be implying that the father was unknown and the mother listed as the "daughter" of a Jacob KAPP, meaning that she was unwed? Interesting.

Can you determine the words under "Jacob Friedrich Kapp" and above his date of death?

Indeed Jacob Friedrich Kapp was illegitimate son of Maria Catharina Kapp.
So the entry qould be:
Maria Catharina, Jacob Kapps
Tagl. Tochter, Gültstein
=
Maria Catharina, daughter of Jacob Kapp,
day laborer, Gültstein

The words under Jacob Friedrich Kapp I would read
B(auer) u(nd) Seiler
= farmer and ropemaker

Klaus,

I suppose the B. stands for

B.(ürger) u.(nd) Seiler
=citizen (of Nabern) and ropemaker
+ 22 Sept.(ember) 1891.

ok, fits better
