• Notes

  My 3rd great-grandmother's journey to Chile in 1888, undertaken all by herself, paints a vivid picture of remarkable courage and determination. At a time when long sea voyages were fraught with uncertainty and danger, especially for a woman traveling alone, her decision to set sail speaks volumes about her resilience and pioneering spirit. Whether she was seeking new opportunities, reuniting with loved ones, or escaping challenges in her homeland, her solo voyage across the seas marks her as an extraordinary figure in my family's history. On her Baptism Record: The phrase "Ehefrau des Hauswirths Quast" is in German and translates to: "Wife of the farmer Quast" or more literally: "Wife of the householder Quast." Let’s break it down: Ehefrau = wife des = of the (genitive article) Hauswirths (modern spelling: Hauswirts) = householder, farmer, or landowner (an old-fashioned word) Quast = a surname So, it’s identifying a woman as the wife of Mr. Quast, who was a Hauswirth — a person who owned or managed a household or farm, especially in rural or village contexts in 18th–19th century Germany. Ehefrau des Hauswirths Quast: Ida Katharine, geborne Güde in Lauben¬ 2, Wittwe Catharine Dorothea Elisabeth Stolte, gebreue Kramer in Thunpadel. 3, Unverehrlichte Catharine Wilhelmine Kramer in Bitter.
