To save space, the father's surnames were omitted (unless different from the child's).

Note: The original records were in Latin and were translated to German equivalents by the compiler, something that should not have been done. Records should always be transcribed verbatim, and an example given by the compiler demonstrates the reason: "Lena" is the pet form Magdalena, not Carolina. So if, as indicated, the compiler translated Lena to Carolina, the database includes that and an untold number of other mis-leading errors.
