Hi Listers, I tried to post a message a couple of days ago but had some computer problems, so don`t know if my message was posted or not. The only sure thing is that I didn`t see it on the list & I have had no response. My ggggrandfather had his occupation listed as " LANDAMMAN". Could someone please explain what this means. I am told that it is a Swiss term, because it doesn`t appear to exist in Germany. Thanks Nick.
