Julianna Befus born 1753 in Storndorf, Hesse, Germany

Here is the birth entry for Julianna Befus from 1753. She was the older sister of Johann Adam Befus. She also came to Yagodnaya Polyana, Russia. She married Nicolaus Hergert there and is also an ancestor of mine, from my Hergert branch. Once again you can clearly see in the first line the name Johann Peter Befus, her father's name.

Here is what it said in German:
am 6ten Decembr wurde Johann Peter Beefuss eine Tochter gebohren, und Anna Juliana benahmet Gevatterin war Anna Juliana -- Kraften hinterl. Tochter, und wurde den? 9ten dieses getauft.

Here is the English translation from David Schmidt:
On December 6th a daughter was born to Johann Peter Beefuss and was named Anna Juliana. The godmother was Anna Juliana, surviving daughter of -- Kraft, and was baptized on the 9th of this month.

Back to Johann Adam Befus.
