The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1636, 1703, 1896, 1938—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Gockel, Surname and list providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gockel”, the useful work is to connect “surname list” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 25, 2025. The first chronological checks are 1636, 1703, 1896 and 1938.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
