The transcript saysthat Anna Gertraud married Arndt Spies in 1756, but she would only have been 14-15 years old. The

marriage date makes more sense for the older sister; what is confusing is that burial record <strong>of</strong> the widow <strong>of</strong>Arndt Spies in 1802 says she was 61 (thus born when Anna Gertraud was). But other records show an AnnaGertraudt Trapp marrying Elias Zoode after having his child in 1765. The Girkhausen Dorfbuch (1970 alsolists Elias as being married to Anna Gertraud.
