Thanks very much!  So Danneman is a farmer or gentleman - they are very different words, so would it be farmer (probably) rather than gentleman?

I know I used that word list at some point but have been using an actual dictionary which I bought (but that hasn't proved to be much more helpful - mostly because you can't find a word if you don't spell it correctly!)  So, I'm always thankful for "any help!"   :)   

Jacob had 3 children with his first wife and 7 with his second wife so maybe I should maybe have guessed that.  Again, I was trying to look up tjo, which was not the correct spelling. 

What does it mean to "declare" the property?  Declaring it for the purpose of the inventory?  To make it "fair" when inventorying for the children of both marriages?

Thanks again,
