@ Nicholas Hogg BTW: Are you sure it is 'Stadtsbeamte' (a term I never came across...), not 'Der Standesbeamte' (which would be one of more literal translations of 'registrar'...)?
Johanna Timm, PhD Nov 23, 2021:
what uyuni says is correct! These letters are the first three letters of the typist's name (as opposed to the registrar who signed the document). I found that info on a genealogy site a while ago.

Abbreviation of name ...?

Alas, Lancashireman's idea/explanation sounds seductive, though...
Lancashireman Nov 23, 2021:
Preferred gender pronoun - she This seems to be very fashionable in EN-speaking countries. Perhaps it has now caught on in the DACH-Länder? Problem is, of course, 'sie' is still ambiguous!

Siegel? Never seen this, so this is a stab in the dark.
