Fiegenbaums in Brazil

In 1869, the Ernest Fredrich Wilhelm and Sophia (Berlemann) Fiegenbaum family emigrated from Ladbergen, Germany to the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Ernest and Sophia were accompanied by 5 of their children, aged 15 to 1 year. A sixth child was born in Brazil in 1872.

Since settling in Brazil, the family has prospered and grown substantially.

We presently have very little information about the Fiegenbaums in Brazil. In the meantime, to learn more, we direct you to the following page at CAPEF, a site devoted to genealogical research in Brazil:

Here you will see a photo of Ernest and Sophia and learn more about their family. The genealogical information here is in Portuguese, but should not be too hard to understand even if you do not speak the language.

We can also direct you to a photo on our web site of one of Ernest and Sophia's descendants:
