    "Weidenfeld" and "Bergthaler" refer to notes in the register; "Weidenfeld" probably indicating that the family belonged to a congregation in Weidenfeld, East Reserve (near Gruenthal) prior to moving to the West Reserve, and "Bergthaler" indicating that the family joined the Bergthaler church when it split with the Sommerfeld church (confirmed by information from a grandson).
