[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Scharfrichterknecht Google search

[Michael & Maureen McHenry]

I did a Google search and came up with a lot of German language hits. They
seemed to mostly concern genealogy. The Google translation engine gives
executioner farmhand. Also the translated pages give 'ABDECKER" as the
equivalent. Google translator has no English equivalent for abdecker. Maybe
someone with German language fluency can use context in the search results
to determine the meaning.

Nelson,

I know nothing about the German language, but I doubt that the guy 
who kills the cow in the slaughterhouse is the butcher.   The butcher 
is the guy who cuts up the cow.    I think there are some other jobs 
in the slaughterhouse, but I do not know the names.   I suspect in 
all countries, there were names given for each of the jobs in the 
slaughterhouse.    Probably separate jobs for draining the blood, 
skinning, and gutting, and probably a few more.
