PETER   HOLPP

 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Peter Holpp was born about 1550 probably in Bissingen an der Tech, Wurttenberg Germany.  His father was Hanss Holp.   This is from the chruch marriage records recorded in Bissingen an der Teck, Donaukreis, Wuerttemberg Collection: Lutherisch, and FHS film 1055840. 

The LDS library has a microfilm of the church records in Bissingen, FHL Film 1055840. It dates back to 1580. 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.

Peter Holp married Anna Shaedler on Feb. 1, 1581 in Bissingen an der Tech.  The marriage records will state the fathers of the bride and groom, unless he or she was married before.  This record did not include the father of the bride.  I don't know if Shaedler would have been her maiden name, or the surname of her first husband.

Peter and Anna Holp had the following children listed in the church record of Bissingen an der Teck:

1.  Elizabeta Holp christened 1582
2.  Georgius Holp christened 1588
3.  Anna Holp christened 1591

Six years is a large gap.  It implies a child died sometime between 1582 and 1588.

It is not known when either Peter or Anna Holp died.
