GERST, Haguenau, France
Dear GARST list members
at my last visit in the Haguenau archive in France, I found the original
location of my
ancestor Joannes David GERST in the marriage certificate of his son .
It seams like Joannes David GERST was not from Haguenau and I would please
ask me to locate the place where he was coming from originally. The
certificate is written in Latin.
It was in 1713 in Haguenau, France, and it reads as follows:
..........., contracti inter honestum et ciuditum Dominum Johannem David
KERST,
,Cantorem et Ludimoderatorem hujus civitatis Hagenoensis,
orcundum(oriundum)ex Großen "Reppach in ducatu Saxo " Gothano,patrie
honesto Andrea KERST .......,
What does this mean : ex Großen "Reppach in ducato Saxo" Gothano??
Where is this place??
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Best regards from Windhoek in Namibia
