After visiting my ancestry hometown in Seebach I received an email containing a famiy tree written by a family I met there.(see attached)

Most makes sense but some abbreviations:

Ww des

Etc.

Please explain them

"oo" means marriage; oo1 is the first marriage.

"ww" is widow or widower from "witwe" or "witwer".

"des" is a word that means "of the" or "of".
