This is a wonderful article. It seems to answer most of the questions people have about the farm terms, both in the Czech Facebook site as well as Ancestry. The only thing I can think of is when the daughter inherited the land, and was called "bauerirn".
ReplyDeleteWell, inheritance would be probably interesting as a full post... Will think about it. :)
DeleteThis is the same as in older German texts the difference between a mans name e.g. Mayer and his wife was written Mayerin.
DeleteBlanka, do you have a reference to finding the house numbers on an old Bohemian map. I had a site but have lost the URL. I am researching the Rosshaupt Church records and found house numbers.
ReplyDeleteClaudia, do you mean stabile cadaster? http://archivnimapy.cuzk.cz
DeleteThank you, that was not the one I had but it is a great one for the map; now I can see the villages nearby and I can use it to search more church records. I will go through all my links to see if I can find the one with the house numbers.
DeleteBlanka;
ReplyDeleteMany times my ancestors who lived in Dalecin, Uncin-Zbytov, etc. were listed as "Bauer". I know that is a farmer, but what category would that fall in.
Bauer is just German word for sedlák, farmer. It just tells us your ancestors belonged among those who owned fields larger than one quarter of hide. Additional research would be needed to find out how much land they had.
DeleteAhoj Blanko, jeho pátek! doufám že máš vélky den!!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting posting! Besides Chalupník, Sedlák, and Gruntovník, I have run across some other types of 'Farmers'. When you have time could you please comment on them as well:
Podruh
Domkař
Čeledín
Rolník
Zahradník
Farmář
Zemědělec
Dělník
Venkovan
Pracovník
Thank you
