Can you tell me or speculate which came first Bartelsdorf or the surname
Bartel then the name of the settlement.
What could the name Bartel mean. You see them all over. Mine were
Eichdorf. I have another one too the name of a farm of someone who was
actually a kanning.
Could someone remind me too what is the meaning of the german 'Verw'.? I
think I spelled that right. abbreviations are tough to look up.
thank you
