After some research and lots of luck, I basically stumbled on what is more than likely Johann’s birth record. On a whim, I just decided to start looking through records just to the north of the Plathe area (where Johann was married<\/a>), since I didn\u2019t get to those on my last search. I wasn\u2019t expecting much since it\u2019s not that close to Naugard or Minten. I started with the parish of Batzwitz (now called Baszewice) which also included a few other smaller parishes in the area. I jumped in a few pages to skip over the cover page, etc, and the first page I came to had a baptism entry for LAST. Though it wasn\u2019t anything familiar, I did take it as a good sign. In all of my searching, I found that the surname isn\u2019t very common. It was only in 1823 and Johann was listed to be born in 1825. I kept working through the pages, seeing more LAST entries.<\/p>\n

Then, on the first page of the 1825 baptism records for the parish of Barkow<\/strong>, I spotted what looked like \u201cJohann Wilhelm Gottlieb,\u201d his full name from his marriage record. Unfortunately, it seems that Johann is listed as uneheliche sohn<\/em> which basically translates to \u201cillegitimate son.\u201d It does list his mother as Dorothea Sophia LAST, but no father. I know that some church records sometimes have a \u201clegitimacy\u201d section that has listings for when they legitimize the children, so I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
