"father vouched for legitimization"]

[Ben's note: 
this guy did not plan to emigrate, he was a 'journeyman', who
travelled to fulfill the necessary professional obligations applied
by his trade due to former trade laws. This time period was in former
times called (ein Geselle auf)  "Wanderschaft" ~ a traveling 
journeyman.
Means he had to travel for ca. 3 years (not sure) and during this time
had to work in a specified amount of different trade/craft shops with
different trade masters until he was allowed to go back home and
settle down. I think they weren't paid for the work they did and only
got accommodation and food. Traveling journeymen had to wear a
very typical costume, which made them easily recognizable and was
also very functional, to help them 'living through this time'.
(Very broad-brimmed hat - helping to avoid getting wet during rain, 
very wide trousers in the ankle area - helping to keep the shoes dry 
during rain, etc. ).  Their few personal belongings, which they 
carried with them, were wrapped in a piece of fabric. This bundle was 
hanging from their walking stick, which was carried over the shoulder 
(bundle in the back).  The stick served a double purpose, walking 
stick and weapon against wild animals. These guys walked all the time 
(no money for transportation) and during their years covered large
distances.  On top of everything they had to appear "clean" and
"ship-shaped" to not disgrace their trade.
Not an easy feat, considering the circumstances. ;-)

BTW, this "old-fashioned custom" still exists today in Germany. But 
only a very few young man do it nowadays to honor the centuries-old
customs of their trade. And they still wear the traditional costume of
a "Wandergeselle" (traveling journeyman). :-)
