He grew up on his parents' farm in Vorwohlde. (F1)
The farm was called the Köstermann farm (according to the Klein Lessen genealogy in the Sulingen civic archive). One of his brothers probably inherited it.

He was a 'Beibauer'.
In 1787 there was a farmhouse, an external kitchen, and a shed for peat and hay on his farm. (1787 “Brandkataster” from Sulingen)
In 1996 the address of his property was Bockhorn 3, Sulingen. The owner was Heinrich Mohrmann.

Other Information:
1. Harm Köstermann was also called Harm Gödeker before he married.
2. Because Anne Margarethe Mohrmann inherited her parents' farm, her husband and her children adopted the name of the farm, namely Mohrmann. This often happened at that time.
3. In the documents "Hann. 74 Sulingen Nr. 32" and "Hann. 74 Sulingen Nr. 33" in the civic archive of Hannover, Harm Gödeker/Köstermann was called Harm Mohrmann.
