Leonhardt HOLPP

 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Leonhardt Holpp was born July 14, 1685 and christened the next day in Bissingen an der Tech, Wurttenberg Germany. His parents were Leonhard Holpp and Agnes Steiner.  This is recorded in Bissingen an der Teck, Donaukreis, Wuerttemberg Collection: Lutherisch

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 Anna Maria Baur on Dec. 1, 1710  in Bissingen an der Tech.  Ten children are listed in the church records  All born in Bissingen an der Tech.   The spellings are as in the records:
1.  Anna Maria Hollp born 1711
2.  Johannes Hollp, born 1713
3.  Hanss Georg Holp, born 1716
4.  Anna Catharina Holp, born 1717
5.  Hanss Georg Holp, born 1718, the #3 child must have died.
6.  Andreas Holpp, born 1720
7.  Anna Barbara Holpp, born 1722 with twin
8.  Anna Catharina Holpp, born 1722, the #4 child must have died.
9.  Elisabetha Catharina Holpp, born 1727
10. Maria Agnes Holpp, born 1731

The Holpp family are listed in the church records of  Bissingen an der Tech from 1581.  They were probably there even before that.

 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 Leonhardt or Anna Maria died.  But it would have been after 1731.
