Sande, I just checked the online word list for German Genealogy at Family Search (LDS), in the hopes that something would click -- it didn't. Also checked for Latin words that might match. Nada. I checked Croom's "Unpuzzeling Your Past" with no good results. I think that, if there were a prize for "brick wall" questions, yours would take it! Hopefully, someone who checks this list will find something. I will keep looking - this is a very interesting topic.
