Huxter (Huckster): One who sells wares or provisions in the street; a peddler or hawker. (I think it is important to note that this usually referred to "street" selling as opposed to having a shop or store) Several of my Meyer1860-1880 family members were also hucksters, but the listing for one was "wood huckster" and his daughter was a "rag huckster", which upon researching, indicated that they went around and "scrounged" up discarded wood or rags and then resold them. Free enterprise or "early flea marker". Virginia

I have a relative who in the 1880 census is listed as occupation HUXTER. Can anyone verify what that is?? Is it a trader?

Thank you listers for assistance in my quest for the family of John J. Colino. A lister sent me his obituary and his son has been located. Now, finally, the Autograph Book of John Colino,, dated 1934 (HS PS 132) can be given to family members. It was a 2 month research journey with many twists and turns. Deanna

I'm half German and have researched that side for many years. The spelling of the name MUNCRON didn't sound German to me. I did a search for it in the German phone directory. I got no hits. I think the R is really a K from some old hand writing records I have. If you search MUNCK* in the German dir and ancestry you get plenty of hits. However nothing beyond the stem with next letter O. At ancestry all those German born are simply MUNCK. I have seen in German marriage records -OW added to the end of the woman name I think it means maiden name. I think the last letter may be a W. This may have been a woman who was married, but wanted the recipient to recognize the name on the envelope.
