Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Fiegenbaum, [--?--] 
    Born Bef 1707  [1] 
    • 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.

    1. [S1] Hermanda (Lagemann) Fiegenbaum, Genealogical research.
      In correspondence with J. W. Fiegenbaum, Hermanda (Lagemann) Fiegenbaum of Münster, Germany notes that church records prior to 1707 no longer exist for Ladbergen. She writes: "That time there were four Fiegenbaums in Ladbergen and we think they were all brothers, because in 1715 is written 'The old Fiegenbaums [sic.] died' without dates or names. It was a Fiegenbaum wife. That is why we think only one family otherwise the Reverend had also the Christian-names written."
           The conclusion is that the woman who died in 1715 is the mother of the four Fiegenbaum men who appear later in the Ladbergen church records: Henrich (born about 1667/68; died 1741), Gerdt (born about 1678; died 1731), Johann (born at a date unknown; died 1716) and Emanuel (no dates of birth or death).
           In the absence of church records before 1707, further details about this woman and her husband are not known at this time.
