Landm. Tagel - what does this mean?

[m***@hotmail.com]

Hi
I have found a relative on a passenger list, unfortunately everything
is in german including the profession which is listed as Landm. Tagel.
Does anyone know what this could mean. I have a feeling its a generic
profession as all the other men have the same profession. But would
like it clarified.

Looking forward to some help!

Cheers
Monica

I think it's a farmer labourer (the German equivalent of "ag lab").

I’m sure you’re right it means an agricultural labourer. Tagel. is an
abbreviation for ‘tagelöhner’ = a day labourer Landm. is a bit harder – the
m. abbreviation could mean several things, but it clearly relates to the
land. The direct translation of agricultural worker would be
‘landarbeiter’.

And here is the first reply, just about repeating what Stuart wrote:

"Tagel. is probably Tagelöhner and Landm. may have been misread but
obviously it has something to do with Land or farming. A Tagelöhner is
a day laborer. So you get somebody who hires himself out on the farm
as your translation indicates."

Would the m be perhaps something different in German handwriting?

Yes, Kerry is right.
It's an abbreviation for "Landmann Tagelöhner" which translates
exactly as agricultural daylabourer.
