Hello again, List: I'm getting a little better with der Duetsch, but this little bit is rather important and I can't quite get it! Among other things, Google translates Anwesan to messuage and I don't know what messuage means either! And what the heck is a "riser yard"? Neither does it help that Steigerhof translates to "back gas paste"! If one of you would please straighten me out, I'd say thank you!! Well, danke, anyway! I am really getting too old for this stuff!! from my co-researcher now, Mani Hertlein: "Kind: 1) Hannß, Bauer in Lentersdorf * ca 1630 in Gresten/Österr † 1684 in Lentersdorf,Kreis Ansbach,Mittelfranken, b in Dietenhofen oo 1/1 1660 in Dietenhofen mit Keller Elisabetha <Keller Jakobi> * ca 1644 in Großhabersdorf † vor 1682 in Lentersdorf oo 2/1 nach 1684 in Dietenhofen mit Kugler Anna 1630 - 1637 am Hintern Hoderberg 1638 - 1650 am Hintern Gasteig übernimmt 1650 den Steigerhof in Hausegg bei Gresten /Österreich vor 1656 1631656 oo (Erbvertrag fol 273) b 1656 in Dietenhofen (Exulant) kauft 1661 das Anwesen Lentersdorf (StAN RA Markt Erlbach Amt Neuhof/Zenn 1661 Rechnung 374)" [Google translation: Only helps a little! oo 2/1 after 1684 in Dietenhofen with Kugler Anna 1630 - 1637 at the back Hoderberg 1638 - 1650 at the back gas paste transfers 1650 the riser yard to Hausegg with Gresten/Austria before 1656 1631656 [16 Mar 1656?] oo (hereditary contract fol 273) b 1656 to Dietenhofen (Exulant) buys to 1661 the messuage Lentersdorf (StAN RA market Erlbach office Neuhof/Zenn 1661 calculation 374)] Ron Klotz-Zellhoefer Wisconsin>Arizona [email protected] http://zelltree.com
