I'm betting that the handwritten word is not "Englelirecht" which is not a recognizable German word, but is instead "Englebrecht" -- a well known German surname. If the handwritten "b" is loopy or spiky or isn't completely closed, it would be easy to read it as "li." Is Englebrecht the name of a local cemetery, or the name of a local farm family who might have had a private burial ground? Perhaps the name of the Lutheran pastor who buried your ancestor? Good luck with your continued research. Ardis Parshall _AEParshall@aol.com_ (mailto:AEParshall@aol.com) "S. Plummer" wrote: Does anyone know the meaning of the word, 'Englelirecht'? Is this a German word? I do not know anyone who speaks the German language and I haven't found a forum where this sort of query can be posted. I would like to know the meaning of the word. I am seeking information about an ancestor who was born in Germany and died in North Carolina in 1841. I found an old handwritten record which seems to indicate that he was buried in a family burial ground although he was a member of the Lutheran church. The word, Englelirecht' was written beside my ancestor's name. Can anyone translate this word to English for me? Thanks. S. Plummer
