Thank-you so much for the transcription and translation. I do know a bit of German, but the script is so difficult to read! Most of my records so far have been in Poland and Russian, so this is the oldest record that I have found so far. And most of my ancestors have been farmers. So my first innkeepers!

Hi,

You're welcome!

Something you wrote made me aware of a possible error in my translation and I did a little bit of research yesterday. It turned out that the German word "Wirth" definitely means "innkeeper" BUT that it can also mean "farmer" and is used in that meaning obviously much more often, there being many more farmers than innkeepers.

So I think it your ancestors might have been farmers after all.

I might put post this question in the forum to see what the other translators think about that.

Kind regards and sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for the clarification. Farmers are the salt of the earth. So I am very thankful for all of their hard work.
