Fiegenbaum, [--?--]

Notes:

Birth:
The details of this man's existence lacks documentary evidence, but is based on assumptions. Hermanda (Lagemann) Fiegenbaum of Münster, Germany writes that records of the evangelical church in Ladbergen prior to 1707 no longer exist. The first reference to the Fiegenbaums occurs in 1715 with the brief mention of the death of "old Fiegenbaum's wife." The absence of any given names for this woman is thought to be an indication that there was at that time only one family with that surname residing in Ladbergen; further identity was not necessary. That the husband himself is not mentioned in the written record leads to the conclusion that he was born and died prior to 1707. It is not known whether further research will add more details to this story. The Fiegenbaums appear to have belonged to a social class that did not leave many literary records.
