Re: Detta

Hi David,

Many of the early ones who settled Denta before the settlers were
moved to Detta by the estate owner around 1725-1745

from where?

aus dem Reich (meaning Duchy of Lothringen)

what makes you so sure that this doesn't refer to the Holy Roman Empire
(Heiliges Römisches Reich) instead?


Kind regards

Flo

I was adding my distant cousins who were in Detta.

I noticed a strong pattern.

The settlers' surnames and their previous residences were constant
aus der Reich (meaning Duchy of Lothringen) and the surnames were
known to be concentrated in and around today's Brotdorf, Merzig,
Rheinland, Deutschland. Brausch, Baltes, Lauer, Scherer, Schutz,
Kammer, etc.
