This week I obtained the image below which is from Anje De Vries‘ family Bible. I’m pretty excited about it because Jakob & Anje were my great, great, great grandparents. Their daughter, Maria (Mary) was my great, great grandmother.

I had a bit of trouble either transcribing or translating a few of the lines so I’d be thrilled to receive a more accurate translation. Update 7/15/11: Thank you to a reader (Peter) for the corrections and translation suggestions.

Peter, I think I copied and pasted so many times that I messed up some of those numbers. I really appreciate you pointing those out to me. I also really appreciate the translation for those areas that I couldn’t figure out. Thank you very much!
