zieds1mazs.gif (257 bytes)  Birth of Minna Draulis

2 Names: Draulis, Hollander (Holanders)

This is the birth certificate of Minna Marie Draulis (1884) issued by the Pastor of Valmieras - Veides [Wolmar - Weidenhof] parish C.Hollander. The child was born while its mother Marija from Dutka manor visited Valmiera [Wolmar]. The Pastor writes that the mother was a maid, and he does not mention the father, which means that the child was born out of marriage. I imagine that the mother did not wish to give birth to the child in her farm but went to Valmiera to keep the fact secret for a longer time.

Evidently, the certificate was written for the information of the Pastor in Trikata parish. Dutka manor belonged to this parish.

 

The text of the certificate in German:

Dem Mädchen Marri Draulis aus Dutkenhofs Winnehn ist im Wolmar auf der Reise ein Kind  geboren, welches am heutigen Tage in der Wolmarschen Kirche getauft worden ist und dabei den Namen Minna Marie erhalten hat.

Geboren ist Das Kind am 12. Januar 1884 - und hier unter No ins Taufregister eingetragen. Die Tauf ist von mir vollzogen.

My translation (the names transcribed according to the modern rules):

The maid Marija Draulis from Dutka manor Vinēni farm has given birth to a child in Valmiera during her trip. It was christened today in Valmiera church and was given the name Minna Marija.

The child was born on January 12, 1884 and registered here under the No. in the birth register. The baptism was performed by me.
