Hi, My (suspected) 5th great grandfather's tombstone at Zion Moselem, Richmond Township, Berks County reads
"Hier Ruhen die
Gebeine von
Christian HAUSSKNECHT
Ist Geboh 4 Dom
       1710
u. Starn 5 Jany
       1773
hinderliess verh-- erüb=
ter Witte 5 Soh u. 2 toch"
I have been told this translates to Here lies the; Remains of; Christian HAUSSKNECHT; Is Born 4 Dom; 1710; and died 5 January; 1773; left behind ------ un=; happy widow, 5 sons & 2 daughters.
My translator did not know the meaning of "Dom". Any ideas? If it helps, it's possible that 1710 is incorrect, either as is or as read. Christian arrived in Philadelphia in November 1741 with age listed as 24.
Thank You, Grady Houseknecht
