This is the baptismal record of Joseph Voegele, born in Soufflenheim in 1788. At first I thought that this was my great-great-great-grandfather. However, I later found a burial record for this child. He died two days after his birth and baptism. My ancestor, also named Joseph Voegele, was born to the same parents two years later, in 1790.
