The German Genealogists transcribe a name that nobody else could! Hjrominius!

Karl-Michael Sala shared a photo.  Help - can you read the name on this document?  The last name is Seibels - that I know - but, what is the first name?  It's German and a name I have never seen before.  The father of my great great uncle.

    Au contraire! Outside the box, please! Not Hyronimus, nor any of the usual & well-known versions of that given name! It is instead, Hjrominius (or, alternately, Hjrominias). To firm up just which of these 2 it would be, I would normally compare other letters a & u on the page. Need some support for this 1 & only hypothesis out of all your listings in this thread? “…Franciscus Hyrominius De Bie, born in 1843…” The final “m” [sic] is too scattered to be an m. And, no, the i needs not be dotted, for he did not dot the i in Seibels. While there might supposed to have been a letter n in the middle, there is one extra minim. Even more challenging it is when a snippet of only one line is given. In German handwriting, the y & j were often interchangeable. However, if it were my team of transcriptionists, the only letter m would be in the middle{:>)http://www.germangenealogist.com/about-us-lynell-karl-michael-sala/ Now you see why I am paid the big blessings & occasionally the big bucks{:>) While it might not be a big deal in this case, sometimes in research, if you miss ONE letter, you could be totally off & experience much effort, frustration, time & money. <sigh> I have been doing this fun work since 1979 & have cracked cases where no other genealogist could. Therefore, in this case, your honoress, & people of the jury, I rest my case{:>)
