Re: Johannes Hatzman
in reply to a message by M.S
There were roughly 200 Hatzmans in Holland in 1947, and they were all descended from a German soldier from Nassau Dietz. He married in 1820.
Grimm's Woerterbuch contains the word Hatz, Hatzen. It signifies a method of hunting with dogs: hounding, baiting (compare 'hetzen'), a set of hounds, etc.
