What does ihre erstaunlich mean in German?
"Ihre erstaunlich" in German translates to "your amazing" in English.
Generally the word Van or Von indicates royalty. It means of or from. So your ancestor came from someplace called Wert. .It may not be German either. This is a Northern European tradition.
"Van" is dutch and means of or from in English. "Von" is the German equivalent.
"Von Wert" is a German term and means "of value" - "von Wert sein" = "to be of value". But today this term isn't used very often anymore.
Nowadays most people say "wertvoll" = valuable, useful, worthwhile.
About surnames: I know that in German names the word "von" does not always indicate royalty. I too think it's possible that the ancestor came from a place called Wert. But if so, the name hasn't anything to do with royalty. In that conext it just means "xy from Wert".
Noble families in Germany are usually known to historians and if a family "von Wert" is existing, they are probably listed somewhere (Google might help).
But maybe it's not that complicated at all and the ancestor simply was called "the person of value".

Germans would pronounce their words differently just like English do. For example, if a 'cockney' accented person said 'I am', you can imagine what It'd sound like compared to a Scottsman. From my experience of living in Germany, and from what I've learned, the further South you go in Germany, the more dialect is spoken and they pronounce words more 'fully'. For example, if a Northern German said 'Ich' (Means 'I') they'd pronounce it 'Ish'. Whereas if you go South, a German would pronounce it 'Ikh'.
What is the value of a 1875 German 5 pfennig?
