Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image of the original baptismal register is readable. Entry 37 lists the child as Clarence Eduard Louis, born 24 Jan 1909, baptised 28 Mar 1909, to Albert Chill and Ottilie née Bieging. The full given names and the surname via the father match the claimed name, and the year is consistent with 1909.
Matches: Entry no. 37 on the 1909 Tauf-Register page reads 'Clarence / Eduard / Louis', matching Clarence Eduard Louis; Surname Chill appears in the parents column: father Albert Chill, mother Ottilie geb. Bieging; Birth date 24 January 1909 and baptism 28 March 1909, consistent with the claimed birth year of 1909
Limits: The record does not show the child's surname in the Kind column; Chill comes from the father's name; The record gives nothing about death in 1964; Place of the congregation is not visible on this page; The claim concerns only the name, so the parents' identity cannot be checked against the database from this page
