2 Names: Eglītis, Moltrecht |
The document published here looks like a birth certificate.
I do not know why this document was produced one year after the child was
born. Evidently Anna Eglītis left Matīši and made the certificate.
The document is rather valuable from collector's point of view, because it bears a nice stamp of Matīši church in sealing-wax what I tried to scan in. |
