   These rather unusual records where the husband is assuming the wife's name (not the other way around) are explained by Fred Richter on his website:

   "One custom in Lippe that makes genealogy research difficult and sometimes frustrating is when the hereditary of a farm passes to a daughter or widow. The name of the farm is retained, so if the woman marries, her spouse must assume the name of the farm, as do any children produced by them."
