From: Paul Rowold <paulrowold(a)kpnplanet.nl>
From my family book:We have the small notice in the parish book of the Lambertini church were Talke Rowold and Johann Heinrich Wallies married. They got seven children, six boys of which one died in his infancy and one daugther. All children have the family name of their mother: Rowold and not of their father. Rowold was the name of the farm (Hoffname) and this name lasted long. It was common pratice in the Kingdom of Hanover until 1866 and later around 1900 and from 1930 on that families use the farmname as a family name. Even now families use the farm name as family name even they have officially another family name during the last hunderd years.
Not sure about Oldenburg area; however, in Ostfriesland (next door) when a
woman inherited the family farm and subsequently married, her husband took
her surname (money talks!)

I'm seeing some of that in my Oldenburg folks as well.
