Hammann oder Dirksmeier, Friedrich

Friedrich married Krome, Luise Christine Marie. Luise died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Married:

     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).
     It would appear that this had happened in Friedrich's birth family.
