He is described as follows: Name: Heinr. August Joachim Wunnenberg. Born in, residing at: Calvorde. Age: 23 years. Height: 5 feet, 4 inches. Hair: dark blond. Forehead: covered. Eyebrows: dark brown. Eyes: gray. Nose, mouth: usual. Beard: dark brown. Chin: round. Face: oval. Complexion: healthy. Distinguishing characteristics: lacking.
It certifies that he has pursued the miller's trade for several years, partly as an apprentice and partly as a journeyman, and has behaved irreproachably during this time, also processes proven skill in his trade and, as far is known, leaves behind no debt. It is dated 12 June 1844, signed and sealed by the Ducal government office of Braunschweig Luneburg, W. Bode. Introductory pages remind the bearer of proper conduct. It records his travels through several cities, beginning 21 June 1844 until 14 July 1847.
There is also a handwritten note: "My little Heinrich was born on 3rd of September 1854 at 5:30 o'clock in the evening. On the 6th of August 1856 little Wilhelm was born, and died on the 7th of October, aged 8 weeks and 6 days.
