Notes for: Hans Ratzlaff

(A-23) A rough draft sheet in the Alexanderwohl records indicates that he was married three times, and that his son Berent was from the 1st. marriage, son Hans from the second, and the rest of the children from the third. He was quite rich, and was a deacon in the church. His date of death is inconsistent with the birth of most of the children born to his third marriage.
"Sol ein Niedriger u. Guthtaetiger aber auch nach damaliger Zeit unter unseren Volck ein sehr reichen Man u. Diakon der Gemeine gewesen sein." see Alexanderwohl #14
