Some additional remarks from the author:
This nomenclature (of 1305 individuals) is an info file, including about 50 youngsters who were single at that time. Most of those singles settled down shortly after the publication of this book and created families.
On the other hand there are people whom I know only by face, who are not mentioned in the nomenclature.
For the rest I did not consider the peddlers, nor the markers in the basins, nor the destitute, whose numbers I suppose are about 200 to 300 families.
These remarks have been made by the author E. Kirschen.
Marcel Apsel has classified this database and Serge Nagel digitized it in a readable format.
