Hello all,
Ich habe eine Frage ueber einige woerter auf dem VZ 1867 fur Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
Unter "Bezeichnung des Hauses", ich finde was sieht wie "Tageloehnerkathen" aus. Aber ich bin nicht sicher dass -kathen richtig ist, weil es ist etwas schwierig um die Schrift zu lesen. Is this just a day laborer's house?
Auch ich moechte wissen, was bedeutet die Bezeichnung "Hofgebaude"-- farm buildings?
Und noch einmal- Was bedeutet genau die Beruf "Pferdeknecht"? Is this someone who is simply in charge of caring for the horses, or is there more to this job?
Endlich, die Bedeutung des Berufs "Hofgaenger"?
Vielen Dank!

Hi Kristofer,
>>Unter "Bezeichnung des Hauses", ich finde was sieht wie "Tageloehnerkathen" aus. Aber ich bin nicht sicher dass -kathen richtig ist, weil es ist etwas schwierig um die Schrift zu lesen. Is this just a day laborer's house?<<
It is a day laborers house. KATHEN means a real small house maybe more like a hut or shack. A house with one or two rooms for a hole familiy. Or if it belonged to a big farm yard of a land lord it could be a kind of serial house for single persons (More than one single in a house).
>>Auch ich moechte wissen, was bedeutet die Bezeichnung "Hofgebaude"-- farm buildings?<<
Yes, this means one or more farmbuildings. Singular and plural are the same. In singular it is DAS Hofgebäude and plural is DIE Hofgebäude. But don't think of them as big as on american farms.
>>Und noch einmal- Was bedeutet genau die Beruf "Pferdeknecht"?<<
Pferdeknecht is a groom. Especially for the horses (Or does groom already mean, that he keeps an eye on the horses?). You could only find a groom on a big farm, like a land lords property.
>>Endlich, die Bedeutung des Berufs "Hofgaenger"?<<
The job of a Hofgänger is similar to a day laborer, but the Hofgänger is usually a young person. In the evangelical areas children began to work out of their parents home at least after konfirmation. These children, who worked like day laborers (usually on land lord farms) where called Hofgänger. Normally they where payed by products of nature like fire wood and so on.
Just to compare, the younger version of a "Knecht" is a "Junge". They could be as young as 10 years of age and must not live at their parents house. In females - the younger version of the "Magd" is a "Dirn".
The difference to the day laborer is that they had a working contract and lived at the farm they worked on.

Hello to all americans,
I got a non genealogical question, but need an information about the US
american ZIP code system.
In germany we got a 5 number ZIP code. In towns or villages with less than
50 to 60 thousand inhabitants there is only one number for the hole town. In
bigger towns we have some or multiple (very big towns) different ZIP
numbers.
How is it in the United states? Especially Hamilton County in Ohil, if the
system differs.
And does anybody know what dog breeds are marked as high-risk or vicious
dogs by law in Ohio?
And I want to understand the difference between a licensed and a cited dog.
How do you get a dog license in Ohio?
And if you should guess - How many dogs, in percent, of the american dog
population are licensed dogs and how many are cited dogs?
I know this is not genealogy, but of great interest for me.
Thank you already for all answers.
Sincerely
Silke Sarnow
