Tönnis Maydell, till Sutlem, Sr.

I suggest the following changes:

1. The father of Tönnis Maydell was not a man with same name, but Johann Maydell, Ref. pp. 98-102 in the book "Das freiherrlide Geſchlecht von Maydell" (1868), https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_UiJMAQAAIAAJ/page/n5/mode/2up?vi...

2. That the first wife was Elisabeth von Rosen (Yxkull) is not mentioned in any older Maydell genealogies. The reference is also missing, so it does not seem justified. To the contrary, the thombstone of Jurgen Maydell shows coats of arms of von Wrangell at the position where his mother's coats of arms should be (middle left). Thus, the mother of Tönnis Maydell's children waschildren was N․N․ von Wrangell․ She was possibly a daughter of Jurgen von Wrangell here: Jürgen von Wrangell, a. Jesse a.d.H Tolks

3․ That the second wife was "Catharina Schnider" is a 300-year old misunderstaning․ The original document, from which this information is, has been read incorrectly (Genos, 95, 2/2014, p․ 97)․ The original, TLA․230․1․Ab․30, Ratsprotokolle 14 July 1602, shows that the widow of Tönnis Maydell was called Anna Holthusen․ Anna Holthausen․ She was apparently a sister of the mayor of Tallinn Johann Holthusen․

Kind regards,
