Dear Hannover List,
I am reading an 1828-9 Kirchenbuch from Zeven, Hannover, and can not figure
out two occupations. I was hoping one of you experts could help.
Unfortunately, even with the help of a handwriting chart, I am guessing on
the spellings, so I am writing the letters than I can figure out. I am so
sorry that I do not read/write German.
1) Johann Friedrich BAUER, "Knglionisir (?) Soldate-(?)" ?? - my
ggggrandfather. This occupation is not common in this Kirchenbuch. He lived
in Zeven.
2) Johann Friedrich BAUER, "Gaubling??" my gggrandfather. This is a very
common occupation in this Kirchenbuch. I am quite sure the first letter is a
G. He lived in Zeven. By another writer, this same occupation looks a little
like "Grundling"??
I realize this information is not helpful. But if anyone has any ideas,
please let me know. I tried "Brigitte's pages" but she doesn't have a 'G'
page yet. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Katherine
