A grateful thank you to Falk Liebezeit for the advice to contact Staatsarchiv

And to Elizabeth whose posts in English are so helpful. I have now done a Hachez
search at the Oldenburg online datebases here:
Many of the Hachez items relate to the Hachez chocolate company founded by a
first cousin of my ancestor who came to America. Eg., they are Korrespondenz mit
der Bremer Chokolade-Fabrik Hachez & Co.
Two items that turned up are useful confirmation for me. I am posting the German
titles and then translations by Babelfish and Google for review to see if they
are accurate or how they might be improved:
No. 1 - Schätzung der den Erben des verstorbenen J:F:D: Hachez in Bremen
gehörigen Grundstücke in Grebswarden, Blexen, Schweewarden und Widders. Darin:
Auszug aus dem Erdbuch von 1731.
GOOGLE: Estimate of the heirs of the late J: F: D: Hachez in Bremen
corresponding plots in Grebswarden, Blexen, Schweewarden and ram. Where: Extract
from the Erdbuch of 1731st
BABELFISH: Estimation that inheriting the deceased J: F: D: Hachez in Bremen of
properties belonging to in Grebswarden, Blexen, Schweewarden and Widders.
Therein: Excerpt from the earth book of 1731.
Would it be right that this document provides an estimate of the value of the
properties in Grebswarden, Blexen, Schweewarden and Widders that would be
inherited by the heirs of the deceased J. F. D. [Johann Ferdinand Dominicus]
Hachez, as shown in the Land Book of 1731? I know he had such properties,
typically farm land. This inheritance was actually in the mid-1800s.

No. 2 - Darlehen an die Witwe des Kaufmanns Christian Ehlers, Johanna Henriette
Margarete, geb. Ilksen, zu Blexen, später Ehefrau des Jean Ferdinand Hachez zu
Bremen
GOOGLE: Loans to the widow of businessman Chris Ehlers, Johanna Henriette
Margarete, born Ilksen to Blexen, later wife of Jean Ferdinand Hachez to Bremen
BABELFISH: Loan to the widow of the buyer Christian Ehlers, Johanna Henriette
Margarete, geb. Ilksen, to Blexen, late wife of the Jean Ferdinand Hachez to
Bremen
Would it be right that this document is about a loan to Johanna Henriette
Margarete, born Ilksen, of Blexen, widow of merchant or buyer Christian Ehlers,
also later or late [?] or subsequently wife of Jean [Johann] Ferdinand Hachez? I
know she married twice, C. Ehlers first, J. Hachez second.
