Thank you very much for searching the register books and providing translations to the information listed therein. I had not realized that there were 2 sets of books and that the books contain separate entries. I quite probably would have overlooked the entry for the death of Karline. I had realized that she had died prior to the 1842 Census in Bovenden, as shown in Die judischen Einwohner Bovenden Tom 17. bis 19. Jahrhundret, a part of which I have typed in below.
Name Vorname geb.Mon./Jahr 1839 1842 1845
Meyersburg Gerson 11.1815 x x x
Ehefrau Julie 9.1816 x x
Samoel 5.1840 x x
Chanette 5.1844 x
This census information shows that Julie was the name of Gerson's wife as of 1842. Schewelchen is not mentioned. Also that Samuel was acknowledged as a Meyersburg.
A paragraph from Geschichte der judischen Gemeide Bovenden lists Samuel Meyersburg by name at age 18, which further indicates that he was considered legitimate.
I have several more entries from that register which I will be putting into ViewMate for translating in the next weeks.
Again my sincere thanks,
Rich Meyersburg
