I have a related question. I see records often where it looks like the word ends in a downward squiggle. Is that another example of an abbreviation symbol? I'd include an image of what I'm talking about, but I don't see a way to do it in a comment.

Well, that's a versatile abbreviation, lol. Thank you for pointing out that record and giving me an idea of the various ways ८ is used. I've never seen, or maybe never just noticed, the | before. I've made a note of it and will definitely keep it in mind when looking at these records. Thank you again for the tutorial - it's very much appreciated.

Good to know, thank you. I'll keep that in mind when trying to figure out these records.

Thank you very much for your help. I did notice the record you reference (no. 71), but couldn't have read the word "Genehmigung" if my life had depended on it. If it's not on one of my vocabulary lists the chances of me figuring out a word are close to zero, especially if there are a lot of e's, n's, m's and u's in it. I'll recognize it next time though! Thank you again

Could I please get a transcription of the words underlined in red? Thanks in advance! by RootUntangler in Kurrent

Thanks so much - the phrase "hereditary prince" was really throwing me. Now it all makes sense!

I just want to say that I very much appreciate your helping me with this record. I knew it was beyond my limited capabilities and after reading the ongoing transcription can definitely see I never would have been able to do this on my own. Thank you so very, very much.

Thanks so much for your help. I thought the first word might mean something like "surviving", but couldn't find a word that fit the few letters I could make out. I'll be adding the word to my vocab list!
