Other Information:
1. His death record was not found in the register of the Gersdorf church. I asked the minister twice. He appears to be thorough. My ancestor's last child was born in 1861. In the wedding record of my ancestor's oldest son, Johann Friedrich Anton, in 1867, the son is described as hinterlassener Sohn.
2. His death is not recorded in the Gersdorf, Leisnig, Wendishain, Döbeln nor Waldheim registries between 1876 and 1910. The records start from 1876.
