Other Information:
1. 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.
2. Bockhorn belongs to the town (German: Gemeinde) Klein-Lessen. Before World War II, a man did an extract of all the births, weddings and deaths in Klein-Lessen from the books of the Sulingen Lutheran church. Photos of all the farmhouses are included in the records. In 1997 these lists were housed in the Sulingen civic archive. The archivist's name is Mr. Buetow. I met him in 1997.
