Charles Coelestin Mattmann was born on the 26th of June 1842 in Hochdorf, Luzern, Switzerland. Charles was christened the next day in the Catholic Church of Hochdorf. It is interesting to note that although Charles' name is listed as Coelestin on the index of the church christenings, his name is listed as Zoelestin in the records themselves. I have yet to uncover Charles' marriage record to his wife Sophia Schmid but I feel that once that document is found I will have a better idea as to what Charles was actually called in Switzerland. Charles appears to be the only name that he was ever referred to in the United States although he consistently used the middle inital "C" in all records and documents.

Camille, this is a really cool document and it is great that you sourced it right on the image also. You should think about straightening it in a photo editing program such as paint, or picasa.
