Thank you Matthias Steinke. Would you know what that one letter in straight form on the other pages of his book stands for? I think it is a small s. or is it a "t." or a "l." If they have the Big S for sohn why would they need small "s"?

I looked for it on this chart. Thank you so much,Mattias Steinke. I often have nightmares thinking I translated Heinrich Christop instead of Christian. I hope I have the original copy stored somewhere so I can double check.
I wonder if you have a tree at Geneanet. I feel like I wrote you or was going to do so.
