CHAIN: This JOCHIM b.1741 >JOCHIM b.1774>H.H.*1808
This "affidavit" was inserted in the bound Baptismal Register of the Gross Flintbek, Germany Parish archives. It is a substitute for a missing record. "Our" Jochim and Claus Repenning, "as honest men, attested that they were witnesses to the birth and baptism of a girl born in 1781". This entry was needed because Parish Pastor forgot to enter it. (Looks like they were human too. :-))
Jochim was the "Bauervogt" (sort of a Magistrate)at the time.
Jochim is the ancestor of most USA Schlotfeldts as well as many in Germany and Chile. His uncle, David, born Nov. 19, 1713 is the ancestor of Carl Schlotfeldt's family in Johannesburg, South Africa and Anna Schlotfeldt's family of Adelaide, Australia, as well as Dierk Schlotfeldt of Gross Meinsdorf, Germany and Holger Peter of Hamburg.
