[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] TESKE in Volhynia

[Jerry Frank]

I assume you are referring to the birth of Julius.  The extraction at the 
Pixel site shows the year as 1876.  However, a baptism 2 weeks after a 
birth would be more common practice so it may well be 1878.

If you can send me a scan of the page privately, I will try to help with 
the interpretation.  If possible, please send a scan of the entire page so 
I can compare handwriting to other entries.  That way I can also see what 
other column you are referring to.
