I believe this document reports the April 1572 death in Frankfurt am Main of my 17 times great-grandfather Gottschalk zum Schwarzen Ring. I am hoping that a translation might tell me more about him and his family, including perhaps the name of his father. Ele Toldot says his father may have been Juzzel zum Schwarzen Ring, then zum Storch. (Schwarzen Ring and Storch were houses in the Frankfurt ghetto.

Here is the translation that was on ancestry.com in connection with Gottschalk:

With the disclaimer that I can only read about 40% of the entries in this list, I wouldn’t hold out too much hope of finding your ancestral name. Most of the lines seem to be along the lines of “A woman stranger – a beggar from elsewhere – a foreign child – a nobleman from elsewhere.” I don’t see anything that resembles Gottschalk, unfortunately.

nothing on those two pages sounds like a Jewish name or address. And I doubt Jews would be included at all. Obviously also houses outside the Judengasse had names. Like line 8 from the bottom of the left page is for Joerg zum weissen Ross's child. As stated before, most entries are for foreigners, former spital residents, and children.
