Re: GEN-DE Can Jüngling mean junior?

Actually, looking at it again, I think Jüngling means youth in the sense of son. (i.e. the translation should be "Gottlieb Küsner woodturner in Bludzen, youth of the shoemaker Michael Küsner"). You put the word son in your translation, but I don't see any other word meaning son.

Hello,

Below are links to the two pages of a marriage record from the
Lutheran church of Zwyren (Zvyriai), Lithuania from 1844.

On the first page, the very first entry is the marriage of my
ancestors Gottlieb Küssner and Pauline Grimm.

For Gottlieb, it says, in English:
Gottlieb Küsner woodturner in Bludzen son of shoemaker Michael Küsner
Jüngli[n?][...].

The word after Michael Küsner was cut off during the filming. I
think, however, that it must be Jüngling, which the dictionary tells
me translates to Youth.

In this case, does Jüngling actually mean something like "the
Younger," meaning that Michael was actually Michael Küsner Junior? If
not, what does it mean in this case?

Thank you,
Stefan Ramonat
