Any dutch speakers please

I'm checking on my dutch side, and these occupations keep coming up - I have a rough idea of what they might be, but would be grateful if someone could give a true translation - armmeester, buurmeester and schout van Bruchem.

Thanks

Linda

Hi Linda,

I've just been dipping my toes into Dutch research and came across this site:

http://rabbel.nl/occupations.html

It lists old names for occupations in dutch.

Thanks for that Lewis, looks like it will come in very handy.

Bit late answering....Armmeester Literally translated is Arm Master....Buurmeester is Neighbour Master and Schout van Bruchem is a name.
