Than you both so much!
I am new at reading this format; if I interpret correctly Mathias Wargen (Vareng) married twice in his life; his first wife was Margaretha (what does NN mean?) with whom he had 3 daughters, the first died soon after childbirth, the second was also named Clara, and the third is again called Margaretha (was it common for women to name their children with the same name?) who married Michael Metzger (these are my ancestors).
I guess there is no way to determine the elder Margaretha’s maiden name and heritage.
What does “S. v Johann Jacob and w.u. Barbara Schaffer” mean?
Thank you!!!
