Surname Saturday #15: Weishaupt

Weishaupt is the surname of my 2nd-great-grandmother, who is of German-Bohemian ancestry; her nationality was Bohemian, yet her ethnicity was German. I've been able to make a lot of progress on this family over the years, with a lot of thanks to FamilySearch. The Roman Catholic church records for Kravaře, Litoměřice, Czech Republic (formerly Graber, Leitmeritz, Bohemia) were not previously available on microfilm or online up until a couple years ago. This town has an astounding 31 microfilms! That's HUGE compared to the usual 1 or 2 for the Hungarian parishes! Anyway.. thank you FamilySearch! This is what I know on the Weishaupt family:

The Nobility of Demeter Szük in 1690

Yesterday, I was able to obtain a written transcription from the 1730's of the 1690 patent of nobility that was issued to my 8th-great-grandfather, Demeter Szük. He was granted the nobility on 09 Jun 1690 by King Lipót I of Hungary, and was later recorded in Nagy-Ida, Abaúj county, Hungary on 11 Jan 1691. The four following images are copies of the transcription written in the 1730's. It has some great information on it! :)
