Do you remember Reinhold Tolkien, a tanner from Lübeck in 1699? If not, see here.
In 1699 in Lübeck a child of Reinhold (Ronald) Tolkien was born (Mormon archives) |
It is possible I have found the act of birth of this man He probably came from Kreuzburg and was born in 1661 as a son of Michael Tolkien (born c. 1640), a schultz or schultheiß of the village Glabunen (before 1945 it was German Globuhnen west of Kreuzburg, East Prussia).

Other children of this Michael Tolkien were Anna (b. 1667), Christian (1675) and Christoph (1680)! If so, the Old Tolkien was J.R.R. Tolkien's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather!

In 1702 another schultz of Globuhnen was Friedrich Tolkien. As we can see this duty was hereditary as according to the Kulm law (it is quite possible that Globuhnen was one of the villages founded by the Tolk/Tolkien family).
