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.
