davecapps that is indeed the word I was looking for!
Your find of the chronicle for Buttforde is remarkable. Could you possibly tell me where I can find it, as it may be able to fill in missing people in my research. A link would be great, or any information on its location.
Also, with the clip you sent, do you have any idea of the key? My German isn't great, but I can work out a lot of it. Is the 1530 before Mammen, Johan Tiophel just the number of the person in the chronicle? The *25, - 27.4. 1794 Bfd, would seem to be his birth and baptism in Buttforde, OSB Dunum 1454 I assume refers to the place somehow. His death is then 21.12 1870, Kehlfass not far from Buttforde. Any idea what the (75,7,0,6) refers to? And he is a weaver, marrying on 1.8.1823.
In the list of his and Frauke Margarethe's children, the u.a I presume is unter anderen. Is this implying another name they're recorded as, or another name in the index they're connected to?
Sorry for all these questions, but this find is incredibly exciting for my research.
Huge thanks to you.
