Legend and scope of this table
This event table records facts exactly as they appear in the underlying source. All columns are event-scoped, not person-scoped: entries for residence, house number, occupation, status, parents, or sponsors reflect what is stated in the specific record for that event only, and are not harmonized across records.
The table intentionally combines Kirchenbuch entries with administrative records (e.g., Rentkammer and Vormundschaft files) in strict chronological order to allow the reconstruction of life occurances, status changes, and legal processes over time. Assertions made by the subject (e.g., in petitions) are identified as such in the Notes column.

Case File "Events"
This is an example of a case file row in the table:
