[ANSTHRLD] Looking for Middle Low German name sources

[Richard Culver]

Thanks!  Yep as that is probably the most significant of the MLG pieces, I was planning on working with that piece, though I had only flipped through sections.  I was thinking I might luck out, but from what I read so far, very little mention of names.  I was thinking of either just my birth name in Low German, which at least modernly, is Rickert along with "van" and the appropriate spelling of the modern town of Itzehoe for that time, knowing one version is Ezeho.

Try the Sachsenspiegel (
http://www.sachsenspiegel-online.de/export/ssp/ssp.html). You might find
some Middle Low German names there that'll tickle your funny bone.

Detlef von Marburg (Detlef, incidentally, being a Low German name)
