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. |
