Dünhöft
pages 43-45


This book is in German, symbols were used to indicate born, died & married & the dates were shown as 6. 7. 1711, which translates to 6 July, 1711. I have changed the symbols to the English word & the dates to the English format. I used Babel Fish to help with some of the translations and Werner Honkamp kindly helped with others.

Werner Honkamp explained what Kötter und Wirt means:
"Kötter is a owner of a small house (cottage) with a little land around, in this case 6 hectare for gardening for himself. Therefore they need an additional occupation, in this case a bar/pub - better translation a inn in the cottage."

Doing a little searching, I found:
Hectare - A metric unit of area equal to 100 ares (2.471 acres). Thus, the Dünhöft cottage contained close to 15 acres.

I also found the following website giving German Occupations & the translations helpful & see What is a "Heuermann" or "Heuerling"? for a wonderful explaination of this term.

Notes in RED are translations or added by me to make the document more understandable. The names in bold are my ancestors.
