Jochim Schlotfeldt the stone house builder, married a Lage daughter called Gretje in Germany. Our records call her 'Antje'. Their daughters were born in Moline, Ill. and married BALLHORN and KLOPPENBERG. If you are descended from them you will be interested in these German book pages that give us her dates and several ancestors. We just 'deciphered' these pages that Ed Schlotfeldt was able to get from the Hamburg Archives several years ago when working with his sister Ilene on the "tree". ('Now' is June,2002.)
We appreciate his sharing. We do not yet know all of the abbreviations of these old records, but our friends in Germany will surely help us explain them. (There are several pages of earlier LAGE ancestors. I will post explanations here as I receive them.) There is also a "Stoltenberg" marriage in this mix which will take some study. Explanation of terms from Uli Barkholtz and other sources.: the "u.s.G." you see is the "wife" part of the bride's parent. For example, under Peter Lage *='born', the + shape = died followed by the town and date of May 27, 1913. The 00=marriage, followed by the name of the town and date of marriage to "Beck Göttsch", "T.d."= daughter (Tochter) of: Jochim g. (Göttsch)Farmer (Katners) in the town of Ratjendorf, and his wife "Gretje Stoltenberg".
Tis followed by Peter's second marriage "00 II, in Schönberg to Trin Roch, born in Krokau etc.
As I read this now, the second wife also had a second marriage (oo) in 1856 to Peter Stoltenberg , two years after Peter Lage died. Confused?
You are looking at parts of the last pages in a group. The other pages take the Lage family back to "Eggert Lage, a farmer in Schönhorst, Germany who lived from about 1590 to 1630.
