Google translator says mistr is master.

Google didn't know the other 2 words. Maybe they are spelled wrong or need diacritical marks.

Dresden is located in the German federal state of Saxony (Sachsen). I think; therefore you shall put your question at the board "Germany Saxony (Sachsen)". One gets attentive on your question there better.

I want nevertheless to inform you about this tragedy in Dresden:

Re: Norwegian translation from Selbu of Sesseng/ Harberg

ingersvare — 2009-11-02 13:44:09Z

gbr is short for "gårdbruker"/"gaardbruker" (scandinavian æ, ø å leters might be confusing?) and means farmer. He lived on, drifted and had a farm, and was a veterinerian.

i think all of u can find ancectors in the book "Draxten Folket", most people from Selbu, not far from Trondheim, called Sesseng and Morset are relatives. And these lastnames origin from Selbu.

Re: Fench given name on 1680 West Indian document - Ouelleram?

rchollet_1 — 2009-10-27 13:23:51Z

Hello,
My first guess is that the correct name was William, but so badly pronounced when registered that it has been written as Ouelleram by the responsible officer.

Best regards

Fench given name on 1680 West Indian document - Ouelleram?

redmond8353 — 2009-10-10 12:55:52Z

A 1680 census of St. Martin in the French West Indies lists three Crequi family members: Pierre, Jacques and "Ouelleram". Is "Ouelleram" a given name, title or other description? The name appears to be "Ouelleram" but might be something similar. I have image of name and will send if needed.

Re: Translation of Hebrew on Jewish headstones - please help! (Newmans) (last one, I promise!)

pschei6821 — 2009-08-06 20:42:43Z

Yeah, you'd think that would give you useful information... As it happens, my great-grandmother on my mother's father's side was daughter of a Kohen! I know his name and rough DOB and exact DOD and have a picture of his gravestone (with the hands and everything). Given the name, you'd think tracking Julius (aka Yehudah) Szerencsy, son of Aaron the Kohen would be simple. After all, there are loads of Szerencsys around, aren't there? LOL.

Sadly it doesn't seem to make more records on them magically appear :(

Re: Translate Old papers Polish?/German?

Pittiplatsch — 2009-08-20 11:43:35Z

The document in german:

Agnes Deita, eheliche Tochter des Käthners Andreas Deita und der Agnes Kizenska, dessen Ehefrau, ist in Weitsee /Wdzydze Tucholskie/ den 21. ein und zwanzigsten Januar 1856 /sechsundfünfzig/ geboren und den 27. desselben Monats und Jahres getauft worden.
Solches bescheinigt amtlich
Wielle, den 27. April 1892
das katholische Pfarramt
Raszkowski, Pfarrer

and in english:

Certificate of baptism
Agnes Deita, marital daughter of the "Käthners" Andreas Deita and the Agnes Kizenska, his wife was born in Weitsee/Wdzydze Tucholskie/the 21. twenty-first january 1856 / fifty-six/and has been christened the 27. of the same month and year.
Certifies officially such
Wielle, April 27th, 1892
the Roman Catholic priest's office
Raszkowski, parish priest

The name could be Deita or Data. I don`t know if there is an english word for "Käthner". A Käthner is a little farmer who owns a cabin and a little bit of farmland. Wdzydze Tucholskie is the polish name for "Weitsee". "Weitsee" and "Wielle" are now locations in Poland. In former times they belongs to Germany/Pomerania.

In the second line, there are the words "né il y a trois semaines" which translate to " born three weeks ago". The baptism date is 19 December 1823. If the reference is to exactly three weeks before, the birth date would be 28 November. I determined this by visiting this link--
