Translations of the German Documents - Baptism Certificates for Johann Friedrich Phillip Muller

Transcription and Translation by Gerda Dinwiddie

I believe these are both Baptismal/Godparent documents for Johann Friedrich Phillip Muller.

Nim hin mein Pate dis Geschenk,
und sei des Taufbunds eingedenk
die Gab's ist klein die Gnad ist groß
die uns durch Jesus Christus
erlöset hat.

My godchild, take this gift,
and remember the baptismal bond,

which has redeemed us

your sincere godfather

Ueb immer treu und Redlichkeit bis an Dein kühles Grab,
und weiche keinen fingerbreit von Gottes wegen ab,
Dann wirst Du wie auf Grünen Auen
durch Pilger leben gehn,
dann kannst Du sonder furt und grauen
dem Tod ins Auge sehn.

Dieses wünscht dein aufrichtiger Pate,

Manderow(?) den 27. Juni 1857
Johann Michael Müller


Translation:

Always practice loyalty and honesty up to your cool grave,
and do not depart even a finger's width from God's paths.
Then you will walk as on green pastures
through the pilgrim's life.
Then you can look death in the eye
without fear and horror.

This wishes you your sincere godfather,

Manderow(?) Juni 27, 1857

Translations of the German Documents - Johann Friedrich Phillip Muller's Birth Certificate

 In a very exciting development, I'm finally getting around to having our old German documents from the Miller side of the family transcribed and translated by Gerda Dinwiddie

Because these documents are handwritten, and sometimes illegible, not all the words can be accurately transcribed, but I think Gerda did a great job!

Here's the first one, the birth certificate of Johann Friedrich Phillip Müller:

Transcription:

Johnann Friedrich Philipp

ehelicher Sohn des hier verstorbenen Zimmermanns Friedrich Christian Müller und seiner Ehefrau jetzt verehl. (verehelicht) Dahms, geb. Buwolian(?)/Lurolien(?) Maria Dühmke, ist hieselbst geboren am sechsten Juni Achtzehn Hundert Sieben und Fünfzig / den 6. Juni 1857.
Solches wird auf Gnade des heiligen Kirchenbuchs, behufs Auswanderung nach Amerika, hiemit amtlich bescheinigt.

Comments: 


Regarding "Buwolian(?)/Lurolien(?)" - This is actually Caroline (or maybe Carolian?).  We know she spelled her name Caroline when she came to the U.S., but who knows how it would have originally been spelled.  It's a very difficult word to read in the document.  This document also confirms that Freidrich was a carpenter and that he was Caroline's first husband and that she married 2nd, a man with the last name of Dahms.
