Annette, this might or might not help. One line of my ancestors comes from near Wittlage, east of Osnabrück. In that region, the youngest child, male or female, inherited the farm. Two of my g-g-grandfathers are "Jobst Heinrich Möller born Ohmann" and "Claus Heinrich Viening born Eickhoff." They were born with one name, but when they married their wiveswho had inherited their farmsthey took their wives' names. I know the inheritance customs varied from place to place, but that's how it worked in my case.
