Re: [OL] Symbols in Jade CD?

* - Born
~ - Baptized
≈ or oo - Married
† - Died
Small rectangle (can't do that one) - buried

Here's an online legend:
http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/wiki/FAQ_sgg#Genealogical_symbols:

It says the double wavy line indicates baptism (as does my other source), but I've only seen it used to indicate marriage.

I think the (~) must mean illegitimate. My reference says that (*) means born illegitimate, but in this case, the simple is with the birth entry, and then followed by a baptismal entry. So I would assume that means an illegitimate birth.

Am I correct in understanding that the symbol ~ indicates a baptism date?

Numerous entries in the Jade CD have something like the following:
...*am 27.7.1702 (~) in Gristede, Ammerland, ~ am 27.7.1702 in
Wiefelstede, Ammerland..."

Does this mean that the only birth date we have is the baptismal date? Obviously, he wasn't baptized in two places at once.

Also, this is followed by "= am 8.4.1728 in Wiefelstede, Ammerland."  (The
two parallel lines are wavy, but I can't do that here.)  Is that marriage?
 Proclamation?  Something else?

I'm sure there's an index to the symbols and abbreviations somewhere on
the CD, but I haven't found it.

Thanks for your help.
