I am interested in a translation of No./Row. 27 for Solomon Aser Fichtenberg and sons Aser and Nathanial as well as the paragraph to the far right.

Could I also have the document mcolumn headings please?

Is this also a name change record for Fulda 1812 from Aser to Fichtenberg?

Thank you :-)

Here you go James. This register does include a field for recording name changes but the entries are inconsistent. Most lines simply appear to use column 3 for given names, column 4 for family names. But No. 23 seems to indicate a change from Salomon Jonas Katz to Salomon Kohn, while No. 22 shows Moses Joseph Gaibach written out in both columns.

(9) REMARK:
Salomon Aser, who belongs to the conscription group for year 1808, was [selected?] as absent [“No. 10” – context unclear] and has not yet reported.
Nachman Aser was included in last year’s conscription list per 1791, was designated as absent [illegible] but has not yet reported.

[Here’s my transcription as far as I could make it – maybe another volunteer can figure out the missing bits:]
Salomon Aser, zur Conscription von Jahr 1808 [illegible] gehörig wurde [per?] ihr No. 10. als abwesend [gezogen?], und hat sich noch nicht gestellt.
Nachman Aser ist in der vorigjährigen Conscriptionsliste p. 1791 aufgeführt, wurde als abwesend zum [illegible] bestimmt, hat sich aber noch nicht gestellt.
