    •      Heinrich's family was living in Overbeck at the time of his birth. Overbeck is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen.
           A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created.

    •      Heinrich, as a baby less than one year old, his father, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (about age 29), and his mother, Anna Christine Elsabein Fiegenbaum (about age 26), emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. Accompanying them was Heinrich's aunt, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine Bierbaum.
           This family group was joined by his mother's married sister, her husband and their three children, and also by his maternal grandparents and their two unmarried children.
           In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841.
