[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] name description - Consort

[Juergen Bomert]

No nobility at all.

Consors, Latin: u.a. gemeinsam, geschwisterlich !
Consorten often used in different records in Germany in the 18.th century as
: Geschäftsteilhaber, gemeinsame Erbnehmer.

My bad English does not allow me to try the translation.
