Some Interesting source Information:

The following information was found in some Wormbach churchbook records by Mike Grobbel, and he has kindly taken the time to send it to me, along with some translations from the German.



Generations 1 through 11 are ancestors of yours.
I believe there are some minor "typos" in generations
9 through 11, namely Hannemann should be Hennemann
and Maria Therese Peitz gt. Loch should be Maria Therese
Peitz gt. Koch ..

Some "translations" from this section:

* = born
+ = death
oo = married
Eltern = parents (usually refers to parents of spouse)
Hof = Farm
Hoferbe = male inheritor of the family farm
Hoferbin = female inheritress of the family farm
gt. = genannt = "called"     (in other words, the person
was informally known or called by this name because
they lived on the Hof with this name)

......................................




In 1833, the Henneman farm (in Werntrop) was  201 Morgen in size
(about 125 acres)  and by 1935, it had shrunk to 111
Morgen or 28 hectares (about 69 acres).  Morgen = morning
and it was the old measure of land used in this
area. 1 Morgen equalled the area a farmer could plow in the
course of a morning.  However, the Sauerland is
hilly and the soil is poor and rocky, so a Morgen in the
Suaerland was a lot smaller that a Morgen elsewhere.
The metric system helped solve this problem.


The Hennemann farm was originally created by splitting off a
portion of the neighboring Gnacke farm, at an unknown date
prior to 1536 (the first written record of the Gnacke farm in
Werntrop was in 1373). >From the tax records, it is clear that
the Gnacke farm remained larger and more profitable than the
Hennemann farm.



Anna C. Hennemann married Johann Jodokus Berlars
on 17 Oct 1738 in Wormbach.  His father, Eberhard
Berls, was a farmer in Landenbeck.  Anna & Johann's
son, Johannes Hennemann, inherited the Hennemann
Hof. Johannes had a daughter, Anna Gertrude, who in turn
inherited the Hof.  She married Johann Hermann
Laes gt. Beste, who became known as Johann Hermann
Beste gt. Hennemann.  Anna Gertrude and Johannes
Hermann built a new house in 1818, in the "faschwerk" or
half-timbered style, which had the following
inscriptions in the exterior timbers (loosely translated):


13 July 1818 AD  - Put up through Master Ferdinand
Luick -  married couple Hermann and Maria Gertrude
Hennemann - God wills everything - give peace and
agreement and eternal life to everyone inhabiting this
house  - St. Agatha stand by us in every emergency - (in the
gable) Target God Glory - (in the middle) This house stands
in God's hands - God wills it - save it from fire and burning -

Their daughter, Maria Therese Beste gt. Hennemann inherited
the farm and she married Johann Hermann Arens
on 30 Jan 1821 in Wormbach. He was the son of Röttger
Arens, who was a shepherd in the nearby (~ 1 mile) village of
Kückelheim (not to be confused with the other village of the
same name which is located southwest of Eslohe).  His mother
was Anna Catherina Wiesenschulte - according to the
Lauber Index, there was no Arens Hof in Kückelheim, but there
was a Wiesenschulte Hof, so he was probably known as
Johann Hermann Arens gt. Wiesenschulte.



Maria Therese and Johann Hermann had a son named Wilhelm
Arens gt. Hennemann, who inherited the Hennemann Hof and married
Maria Therese Peitz gt. Koch.  She was the daughter of Johann Franz
Peitz (a farmer in Lochtrop and formerly a "pension master"? in
Bremscheid) who in 1813 married Anna Maria Elisabeth Koch - she was
the hoferbin of the Koch Hof in Lochtrop and the daughter of Adam Koch.



"Wilhelm Arens gt. Hannemann verkaufte mit Kaufvertrag vom 05.03.1869
seinen gesamten Grundbesitz  an: Willibald Roß aus Landenbeck
und zog nach Amerika."  Which when translated says:   :Wilhelm Arens
gt. Hannemann, by a sales contract dated 05 March 1869, sold his land
and property to Willibald Roß (Ross) of Landenbeck, and left for America.
