Notes - From Chip Kalb:
As you may know, Andreßen and Andreasen were normally used as surnames in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein to identify sons of Andreas but, as far as I know, they had never been used as forenames to identify them. They would have made more sense in Germany, especially in the north, as middle names. So I’m thinking that Hildburghausen just got caught by a shifting current in the middle of the changeover between the Thüringian dialect and proper German. Like English, High German, the language of the Coburger Land as well as of Martin Luther’s Bible, went through phrases. Hildburghausen just happened to be in the last third part of the Early New High German phrase ( Frühneuhochdeutsch, 1350 to 1650 ).
The German transcription :
4. [ Februar 1624, Mittwoch ] Andreßen Thomae ein
söhnlein getaūfft Ex.
Stoffel Hanichel.
The English translation :
4 [ February 1624, Wednesday ] Andreßen Thomae a
little son baptized after
Stoffel Hanichel. [ Stoffel is a popular nickname for boys named Christoph ]
In the Gregorian Calendar, 4 February 1624 was 14 February 1624. Happy St Valentine’s ❤️ Day!
