| EXAMPLE: Brun/Braun |

| EXPLANATION: | |||
| Chur | s. XII | Bruno, presbyter | (382) |
| ß | ß | ß | Source document (see p. 72: Necrologium Curiense, das sind die Jahrzeitbücher der Kirche zu Chur bearbeitet und herausgegeben von W. v. Juvalt, Chur 1867.) (Book of the Dead of Chur, that is the Annual Register of the Church of Chur revised and edited by W. v. Juvalt, Chur 1867) |
| ß | ß | Name (Church Elder Bruno) | |
| ß | date (on p. 48 it identifies this date as 12th Century) | ||
| location (if abbreviated, go to pp. 40 - 46) | |||
| In the above example, note also, that the first four names are all from Chur at different dates. The next place listed is Rong. which converts to Rongellen on p. 41; goes on to say that Hänsli Brun was documented in Rongellen in 1472 according to the Kirchenzinsrodel located in Thusis and dated 1472 Number 1. That documentation is found on page 53. | |||
| Note the name "Johanni dicto Brûn." Before people had a first and a last name, this was a way of referring to a person. "Dicto" in latin, "genannt" in German, both meant "called." So here they are referring to Johanni of the Brûn family. | |||
