   Hi Jo:
   I believe that Hauswirthin translates somewhat to "Land lady".    It
   made me ask myself the question.  "Is a landlady the owner of
   property, or a manager?"  In the States, I would say owner, but in
   Germany one would have to know the custom.  Something which will have
   to be answered by some else on the list.
   The name Boetze was more than likely Bötze  the ö = oe.  I would guess
   that the Boitze is an American variation.  Look for all three and then
   confirm with other data such as birth dates, etc.

   The Family History Center/LDS/Mormons  has information on
   Oldendorf(s).   But since you did not state in what area of Germany
   the villages are, I would not know which Oldendorf you should be
   looking at.  I could make a guess, but speculation can run into a lot
   of unecessary work.

     I received church record last year and I am attempting to  make
     sense of the whole thing.   I am curious about this term
     Hauswirthin for the woman.  Is she a temporary land owner. How did
     they allow that? Or is until she marries, etc. Perhaps her children
     take over and she remains a widow?
     Also, I am not sure if Boetze is Boitze. It must be?
     I can use all the help I can get.
     I also have another question which I will do next.
     thank you
