Re: GEN-DE Can Jüngling mean junior?

I don't think that Jüngling means (or has ever meant) "junior", but I know we have some native German speakers on this list who can probably answer better than I can.

Maybe Jüngling indicates that he was a youth under the age of consent for marriage. I don't know if there was an age of consent or what it was--just a guess.

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
