This is out of a Barsdahler Book, I don't have the book, but this is an excerpt that was sent to me: Pragmann, Joh. Herm. Förster verh. Steinberg, Mette Adelh. gest. 28. 12. 1876 86/3/11, aus (24) a Dor. Reb. Margr. geb. 16. 9. 21 Rahden verh. Brv. b Anna Adelh. geb. 16. 3. 24 verh. Brchl. c Herm. Hinr. geb. 6. 5. 26 Westerberge [has an arrow pointing to the right] d Margr. Soph. gest. 1849 20 J. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Pragmann, Herm. Hinr. gest. 30. 7. 75 verh. 18. 7. 1856 Borgfeldt, Cath. Ges. gest. 30. 6. 01 (Joh. T. (17) a Herm. Hinr. geb. 13. 9. 56 gest. 58 b Soph. Cath. geb. 30. 10. 57 gest. 76 c Claus Heinr. geb. 22.12.59 verh. (33) d Anna Metta geb. 16. 5. 62 verh. (6) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a lot more, but won't go into all that, mostly interested in the above. I get most of it. Speculating on the following: aus (24) : meaning the Haus Nr. that she came from? Brv. : meaning Bremervörde? Brchl. : ????? Westerberge : ??? gest. 1849 20 J. : meaning died at age 20? (Joh. T. (17) : ???? verh. (33) : meaning they married someone from that Haus Nr. ? verh. (6) : meaning they married someone from that Haus Nr. ? _______________________________________ Separate issue; Have you heard of "Fermstadt, Hannover, Deutschland," it appears in an obit during 1839. I have a very good Atlas, but I don't find it listed. Maybe its like Vieh, Part of Hüttenbush now. Thanks! Del Luetjen
