[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Translation

[gpvjem]

     Thank you to all who puzzled over this "occupation".  
A butcher of farm animals is generally called a Fliescher I believe.  I'll move ahead with the database I'm working on by using the original German word "Scharfrichterknecht" as the man's occupation.

  Could this be concerning farm animals?

  according to my german/english dictionary , a scharfrichter is an
  executioner
  a knecht is a servant, assistant, helper

  interesting occupation,  seems he was a servant/helper to an executioner
  perhaps in training ?

  hope that helps
