Notizen zu dieser Person
BIOGRAPHIE: The village of Trohatin has one Land register, covering the years 1770 - 1870. The books weight was about 20 pounds and the dimensions 15" x 12" x 7". Xerocopies were impossible to be made. Photocopies may be made at 2 USD per page and we would need to have at least 20 pages copied , referring to Kiefners house. Moreover the script was nearly illegible, so I was able to make only some notices and can not provide you with a total overview. Plse advise me, if you want these pages copied and if you want to pay extra for them.
Note:
The owner prior to 1783 was Josef Kiefner. In that year he sold his holdings with 9 strichs of fields, 2 wagons of hay and 3/4 wagon of secon-grass to his son Johann Georg Kiefner at 300 guldens. 150 guldens 3 1/2 Kreuzer were paid to the father in advance. The remaining liablilties were as follows: 111 guldens 22 1/2 kr. to the seller (paid in 1790) 5 30/60 guldens to Margaretha Bauerin (paid 1805) 3 guldens to Elisabetha Kiefnerin, the elder, (1802) 3 guldens to Elisabetha Kiefterin, the younger (1797) 5 27/60 guldens to Georg Rothmayer in Natschetin (1808) 3 guldens to Ursula Wagnerin in Wassertrompeten (Ostromec) (1802)
Note:
I would say, that Margaretha and older Elisabetha were fathers sisters, whereas younger Elisabetha and Ursula were buyers sisters. Rothmayer was probably uncle.
Note:
In 1818 the farmstead was sold to the son Peter Kuefner, Johann Georgs son. The buyer received a pair of oxen, 1 cow, and all house and agricultural equipment, alltogether at the price of 800 guldens in "Wiener Waehrung", i.e. 320 guldens in silver (Conv. Waehrung). The financial liabilities of the buyer were:

(1829)
Note:
After the fathers death in January 1856, the following owner became Josef Kiefner and his bride Katharina Schubert. Katharina Kiefner died on 8.3.1860 and 1/2 of the farmstead was inherited by her widower Josef Kiefner. The price of one half of the farm was 1623 37/100 guldens Austrian currency (105 guldens Austr. currency = 100 guldens Conv. W.). 540 guldens had to be paid to Peter Kiefner (brother ?) and 567,54 guldens to Maria Kiefnerin (sister).
Note:
In summer 1860 Josef married Rosalia N. (21.6.1860) and on the 22.6.1860 Josef passed her one half of the farm in the value of 630 guldens.
Note:
The next fates of the Kiefners were totally illegible, inspite of the fact, that the hand-script was quite nice looking, but at the detailed view the individual words were totally unrecognizable. I made a copy of several pages by my digital camera - unfortunately only in low resolution. Each page had to be taken in three snaps - such large were the pages.
