Notes:

Birth:
At her death in 1715, this woman was known simply as "old Fiegenbaum's wife." The names of her parents, her date of birth, and even her own identity before her marriage, are lost.

Died:
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. The wife's age at her death was not recorded. We are left to assume that the birth occurred before the extant records, before 1707. Her given names, baptismal names and maiden name are lost.
     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).

Other Events:

• Occupation: Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg; farmer

Notes:

Occupation:
Johann and his family lived at Hölter 11. Hölter 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. The number 11 would indicate that this was the 11th farm established in this Bauerschaft. In 1980, Hölter 11 was renamed Ostbeverner Damm 40 and is the home of Lieselotte (Freese) Fiegenbaum.
