Anna Katharina Schlagentweit Majer - First Name Anna or Maria

Started by Mattheiss Riegell XII on Thursday, November 14, 2019

As stated in her bio, "She was christened Anna Catharine MAJER, but her marriage record names her Maria Catharine MAJER. It is possible that she took the name Maria at confirmation. [Bob Hegerich]"

1. If anyone has found her baptism record, could you please attach it? I have not seen it.

2. Absent a baptism record, her marriage record is the oldest known record about her.

3. Most of the baptism records for her children list her name as Maria, not Anna. See https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/KJZ3-1N1

I've changed her first name to Maria, with Anna as an AKA, until someone produces the baptism record.
