Charge records Niederhofen, pages 8 and 9
Numerous sources are the base of my genealogical research results. Only latest informations are personal informations from family members, by far the most informations came from microfilmings of parish registers, partially they also results from the original parish registers. Only few data are attributed to other sources.
The microfilmed parish registers are occasionally readable much worser than the original ones, especially when the beading is not reproduced completely. Therefore sporadic additional mistakes may have occured beside read and typing errors.
As in the early parish registers nearly always the date of baptism was documented, rarely the date of the birth, in my genelogical research very often the date of baptism is given instead of the date of birth without it is mentioned especially. This can be attributed to the fact that the genealogical programs which I used FHS (Family History System) and FTM (Family Tree Maker) didn't permit to distinguish between both. The failure should not be severe as children until in recent years often were baptized on their birthday, mostly, however, the day after their birth.
Foreign sources - beside some official letters from Czechia - were not used. Especially from the anglo-american language area many may be afflicted with failures due to the readability of the German scripture* (e.g. the font Sitterlin) or the not proper transfer of the German vowel-mutations "ä, ö, and ü" or the German alphabetic character "ß".
