Feudal system

Fred,

Thanks for the information regarding the changes that took place after the Napoleonic wars.

My Great Great Grandfather (Johannes Wilhelm WENDELN) immigrated from Garrel in 1833 at the age of 52, with a wife and 8 children. I still find it remarkable that he would undertake such a journey with such a large family. He must have seen this as the only way to provide a future for his children.
