Johann Arronet

“A documented ancestor first appears in 1810 in the Burger tax list (Burgeroklad) of the city of Jakobstadt (Kurland) as Johann Arron. It is to be inferred from the entry that he wrote to the poll tax from 1809 onwards, hence probably from 1809 he was also a citizen of Jacobstadt. Furthermore, it is stated that he was of Latvian nationality and a license (Friebrief - Certificate of release from serfdom) from another governorate (probably Livonia) was provided. Later (1827, 1833) he was met as a "free livender" and arrendator in Livonia (Russian village Luggen, today in Provence Kaliningrad).” George von Arronet family archives
