Leonhard oder Brie, Arend Heinrich Hans Hermann

Notes:

Birth:

     It was not an uncommon practice in parts of northwestern Germany for a husband to assume his wife's family name upon marriage if she inherited the property rights of the family farm. The children born to this couple also often took on the mother's family name. Evidence of this practice will often appear in church records when a person will be identified with two surnames joined by the word oder (=or) or by the word genannt (=named).
