    Can you help with this above? There are probably errors in our guess, especially with the name on the 3rd line.


    If Spirensis refers to Speyer, FamilySearch has a family named Rebmann on the Speyer film, which is found in Das Telefonbuch, but Repmang and Repmaus are not found there at all.


    As always, thanks for your help.

  • nicolai Repmang (or Repmaus)

    Hello Chris,


    it is nicolai Repmans, the genitive form of nominative Nicolaus Repman. Repman is an occupation name, a compositum of Rebe and Mann (vine and man), meaning vintner/winegrower. Todays Rebmann and former Repman are meaning the same.


    Kind regards

    Note: Buchenfeld ( beech field) may be a village or only a location. There is e.g. a part of Pforzheim alled Buchenfeld. http://www.wg-gesucht.de/1-zim…m-Buchenfeld.1204611.html.

  • Many thanks to all for your help.


    Our cousin believes that "buchenfeld franco" indicates that Buchenfeld would be located in a place under French administration in 1702. He also found a street "Im Buchenfeld, 66687 Wadern-Löstertal, Saarland. Does anyone know where the borders were then? Could it possibly include Alsace-Lorraine and was translated to Champ d'hêtre in French? There's not much on the subject on Google.


    Sincerely


    Chris
