445 Translation - German

12/18/2002 From 1894 Galician birth certificate, col.7:mother's name,marriage status, occupation, parents, residence. Her name is Jitte Weingast, her parents are Schaje and Feiga from Olchowiec. But I cannot read the word on the second line after her name. It does not look like the German word for married or unmarried. View the post with its 1 response
