The citation as it was given

Supplied by as a screenshot of the open register, pages numbered 910 and 911. [TO VERIFY] SCREENSHOT, NOT THE DOCUMENT - ark, film and image numbers not captured; pull the full-resolution image and complete this citation. [TO VERIFY] The CONGREGATION is not named on the image - the same gap as SRC-076, and it is itself a research question. Column headings read verbatim: "Naam van het Kind | Wanneer Geboren | Wanneer Gedoopt | Namen der Ouders | Namen der Getuigen". Entry: child "Aletta Katharina Mary Helena"; born "1846 / 11 Juny"; baptised - given by ditto marks repeating the entry above, so the exact baptism date is NOT readable from this image [TO VERIFY]; parents "Charles Frederik Hitges" and "Sophia Johanna Mocke". SPELLINGS KEPT AS WRITTEN per 5a.5: the register writes Hitges (with s), Katharina (not Catharina), Mary (not Maria) for the child but Maria Hunt for the grandmother.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
