Hallo List, Can someone again please help with the translation... DANKE!
Thank you to the many people who have responded and thank you to Peter who was able to help with all the translations. Further to my post this is some of the information regarding the “Amendt” name in WOHNROD area from 1520. I also hope that more researchers will continue to respond with their connections to all the spellings of Amend. It would be wonderful if we can connect some of these names to the Ancestors in the Spessart and the surrounding areas.

I also understand that the name Amend and other versions come from the man who lived at the end of the street, village or forest(settlement) In records that date to 1553 there were no Amends in Partenstein at this time. In 1563-1569? there was mention of a Peter Am Endt (Schutzen mit guter Seytenwehr) in Partenstein. This information comes from the Partenstein Book of 750 years from 1985. This is a good book to read with regards to the rule and possessions of RHEINECK for 500 years. To answer your question..... I would believe that my Ancestors were Farmers. Rhieneck populated the area of the Spessart because it was nearly deserted. His castle in Partenstein was a hunting castle dating as far back as the 1100's. He also wanted to protect his Castles to the North. There were also Glassmakers and those names also appear in Partenstein....Kunckell as early as the 1500's.
MARTIN,
Also, to further my email to you....... question???.... to the first spelling of “am Ende” and his trade.... Rienecker Ambts Schatzungs Reformation 1619
He was a farmer. But also there are other trades mentioned like “Manager” I hope this helps.
Again, I would like to reiterate that I appreciate all the help and hope more Researchers will add to this research. DANKE! Best Regards,Ruth Amend ruthamend@hotmail.com
