LEONHARD   HOLPP

 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Leonhard Holpp was born about 1650 in Bissingen an der Tech, Wurttenberg Germany.  His parents were Georg Holpp and Maria Reichmann  This is surmised from the marriage records of Georg and Maria as well as Leonhard and Agnes recorded in Bissingen an der Teck, Donaukreis, Wuerttemberg Collection: Lutherisch, and FHS film 1055843.

The LDS library has a microfilm of the church records in Bissingen, FHL Film 1055840. It dates back to 1585. The German scrip is very hard to read and of course it is in German. We can scan the piece so you can attempt to see it also. Just click under Contact Us with the request. I now have a printout from the LDS set on CD of Western European Church Records that is easy to read.  The data in this story comes from that set.

Leonhard married Agnes Steiner on Sept 7, 1675  in Bissingen an der Tech.

Birth records for Bissingen an der Tech did not begin until 1680.  So any children born between 1675 and 1680 are not known
We know they had the following children.  All christened in the Lutheran church in the village.:
1.  Andreas Holpp, born 1680
2.  Agnes Holpp, born 1682
3. Leonhart Holpp II, born July 14, 1685. He was christened the next day July 15.
4.  Anna Maria Holpp, born 1688
5.  Anna Catharina Holpp, born 1690

 There is probably much more information to be found on the microfilm with a careful reading. When the recorder wrote the names usually an in was added to the woman's name i.e. Anna Barbara Holppin. The "in" is added to most names signifying the female.

I have no record of when either Leonhart or Agnes Holpp died.  But it would have been after 1690
