Rieken-64 is a spanish ancestor, that a person informed me of from Spain.

Question

Hello WT Folks,

A long time ago, someone sent me images of a map of lands owned by George Rieken and Gerdes in Spain.  I want to make sure I am posting this properly, as my Spanish speaking family is not on here to ask!  So, I am reaching out.  The image is on Rieken-64.

That Spanish census from 1894-97 on familysearch.org that you linked to also says that he was a native of Germany ("Alemania")

Yes, I am aware, he was German.  :-)

Answer 1

Address: Calle Monjas N°1 (N°1 Nuns Street)

Name: George Rieken y Gerdes (y=and, the second last name usually the mother's last name)

Age: 70

Place/town of birth: Alemania/Alemania (Germany/Germany)

Marital status: Casado (married)

Occupation: propietario (owner, probably of land and/or estates)

Place of residence: Huelva

Residence since: --- (not stated)

Clasification: Residente (resident). The other options were "Vecino" which I think applies to those born in Huelva and "Domiciliado" which probably applied to those not permanently living there.

PS: In N°2 Nuns Street there was a...nunnery :). I hope this helps!
