Family record of births - the children of Johannes Herr and his wife Barbara.
Each record a pattern: Date, son/daughter was born into this world, child's name, zodiacal sign, a short prayer ending in Amen.
as follows (wie folgt)
29 March 1801, Barbara, Libra (Waag)
10? July 1804, Anna?, Cancer (Krebs)
12? August 1806, Maria, Cancer
? December 1808, Johannes Herr, Gemini (Zwillinge)
18 March 1811, Elisabeth, Capricorn (Steinbock)
25 July 1812, Heinrich Herr, Aquarius (Wassermann)
18 October 1815, Catharina, Aries (Widder)
Some of the signs are misaligned with todays use.
Another of the pages photographed looks like a marriage record, but I cant read it as is.
