    1. [SWITZ] Question regarding "Zürcher Familiennamen"
    2. Kjell Ove Hattrem
    3. Dear readers, I would be thankful if somebody could help me correctly decipher the following passage from the book "Zürcher Familiennamen", as recorded in the "Swiss Surname Directory" (http://www.eye.ch/swissgen/sursou-e.htm). "=====Rusterholz ======================== (...) $ der Rusterholtz bebaut den Hof auf der Gisenrüti 1404 Wädenswil % (...)" I have so far translated this text as follows. "The first known mention of the name occurred in 1404, when 'der Rusterholtz' inhabited the farm Gisenrüti in the municipality of Wädenswil." However, I am sure it could be made clearer if I knew more specifically what is meant by "der Rusterholtz" and the term "bebaut". By the way, what is the "Frick collection", as indicated by the "%"?
