Notes:

Occupation:
a farmer and a Mayor of Sofiewka, however his biggest challenge was as a member of parliament in Bucharest from 1919-22 after he was elected from the district of Ismal as a member of the Bessarabian farmers party. During this time period Romania introduced the much-hated expropriation laws where no farm was allowed to be larger than 100 hectares. The land taken by the government was then given to the poor. At the time Jakob had accumulated quite a bit of land which fell under this new law. He was a religious man and the Bible group met regularly at his house.

baptized his son Jakob I

Bortscheag was a large estate owned and managed by people from France that employed German workers and was situated 6km northeast of the German settlement of Albota. Some research into the history of the Bortscheag Germans finds that many were so-called Separatists and followed Ignaz Lindl's religious teaching. Copies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Books begin in 1864 and most of the entries for the next nearly twenty years were made by the teacher Ferdidand Ohlhausen.

Religion:
It is possibly that Ferdniand was a so-called Separatist in 1858 because the church record for Jakob's baptism shows that he was a teacher but the “Ev. L” (protestant Lutheran) under Ferdinand’s name, had been crossed out. According to an expert in this area, this may indicate that he was not a Lutheran at that time. Wilhelm's birth record in 1862 shows both Ferdinand and his wife Wilhelmine, as Protestant denomination.

Occupation:
a teacher|| and as such performed church functions in this settlement. The records indicate that he performed marriages and nearly 200 baptisms during this time. These were always authenticated later by the pastor who came periodically from Galatz, Romania.

Confirmation:
Role: Witness

Residence:
moved to Unter-Albota Bessarabia, and from the Lutheran Church books we know that he continued church work because his signature is on many birth, marriage and death records. He also worked as a vineyard keeper, in the summers and falls.

Died:
and it was noted on his death record that he was a Prussian Subject.
