Wow, this is really cool!
Isn't it interesting to see what possessions people had, and especially how important the various objects were considered?
Where did you find this, and was Andre Job an ancestor of yours?
Love these inventories....they provide such a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors...
Yes, he is our ancestor. An 8th g-grandfather...if I counted right. :-) I am away from my laptop right now.
