    • In the published baptismal records of the German Evangelical Immanuels Church in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ), Heinrich Hermann's birth date was recorded as 14 August 1848.
           The church records indicate that of the six children born to Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum and Anna Christine Elsabein Fiegenbaum, there were two sons, one named Hermann Heinrich and the other named Heinrich Hermann. As seems to have been common with many members of the Fiegenbaum and associated families who had ties to northwestern Germany, the order of their given names was quite fluid over the course of their lives through the 19th and early 20th centuries. A Hermann Heinrich who was also known in the records as Heinrich Herman can cause some problems. If you add brother who uses the same given names in the same mixed order, a genealogical researcher quickly becomes very flustered. I have done my best to reduce the confusion, but a full resolution awaits more scrupulous research. In the meantime, don't bet the farm on what you read here.
