    • At the time of her marriage, Anna Maria Christine used the Strate surname. Her husband, Johann Heinrich Budde, and their children also used the Strate surname.

           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).
           Occasionally this practice will be less readily evident. Instead of the use of both surnames at once, one or the other of the names may also be used interchangeably during the course of the family's life, with no apparent consistency. At the births of their children, parents may sometimes be identified with both surnames together or with only one or the other of their family names. Later on, the children themselves may be recorded with one surname at their confirmation and perhaps another at the time of their own marriage.
           One generation earlier, when Anna Maria Christine's father, Johann Bernhard Starkebaum married and took over farm number 86 in Sonneborn, he was also known by his father-in-law's surname, Strate. His wife, Christine Elisabeth Strate oder Fischer, appears to have grown up under similar circumstances.
