Krückeberg Pedigree

We need on-site Bückeburg archives research done.

Put togehter the further reaseach needed. Be sure I have a complete list of individuals.: Determine the recorded events needed—​marriage, confirmation, baptism—​and its Nachträge for these individuals:

The residence is no. 19 Evesen is given for two daughter’s marriages:

In the 1816 marriage of daughter Christine Louise Eleonore, there is an addenda that gives her birthday and death date. Her birth record likewise contains an addendaq that gives the data for marriage. These two records cross refence easch other, anmd the information in common between the records is consistent. todo: list it.

The baptism records include the identity of the mother.

In the other records we can use the age given to determine the approximate birth year and examine the birth records to see if they too reveal the name of the mother.

Todo:Write that analysis up here.

TODO: Mention we have the negative evidence that there are no other records and since we have conscientiously searched all records involving the surname Krückeberg we can rule out that there were no other children baptized in the Petzen church for this couple.

Mention the steinbergen birth and the fact that it has no birth record in the Steinbergen church.

Then move this to the introduction to the church records.

The most recent church record for a Krückeberg in the "Verzeichnis der Getauften, Konfirmierten, Getrauten und Gestorbenen 1785-1827" that contains Nachtragis is the December 1, 1816, marriage of Christine Louise Krückeberg. At some point, Christine Louise Krückeberg’s December 1, 1816, marriage record was supplemented with her birth-baptism date and after her death with her death date.

From the column "Name, Religion, Geburts und Wohnort der Brat" (Name, Religion, Birth and Place of Residence of the Bride), we learn this:

This grammatical breakdown explains how the German should be rephrased in English:

This entire genitive phrase modifies and explains who Christine Louise is — she is the daughter of this man.

We can now express it in English:

Notice also that the bride’s address is given in terms of her late father’s address.

While the phrase "n. 19 in Evesen" grammatically refers to the father, because it appears under the column for "Wohnort der Brat" (residence of the bride), and no other residence is given, it is certainly meant to indicate that Christine Louise currently lives at No. 19 in Evesen, even if described indirectly through her father’s former home.

This style is used repeatedlly in the Petzen marriage records: individuals are identified by their household and using the father’s name and house number to define the residence.

This table summarizes the family information found in her marriage record:

The birth Nachtrage (addendum) gives Christine Louise’s birth/baptism date as on April 26, 1798]. Only one Christine Louise Kückeberg was baptized in the Petzen church on that date. Her birth record, likewise, was later supplemented with her marriage date, December 1, 1816. This independently confirms the marriage and birth records refer to the same person.

Her birth-and-baptism record also gives her family’s residence as "no. 19 Evesen". Since it also provides her mother’s namem, we now have these cumulative family group details:

TODO: Is the sponsor important at this point?

Her sponsor is:

TODO: Point out whar "geb." means.

A confirmation record for Christine Louise Krückeberg is found around the expected date of her 13^th or 14^th birthday, on April 7, 1811, when she was three and a half weeks shy of 13 years old. Her identity is confirmed by matching the information given for her parent’s names, her birthdate and the families current residence with the same information in her marriage and baptism records. Ane by the fact that their are no other …​.?

Her mother’s given name’s differ slightly between these two records: "Anne Sophie Kromer" vs "Kathar[ine] Sophie Krömer". The marriage record of her parent’s resolves this discrepancy. TODO explain that marriage record has all her given names. But put the explanation after adding children below.

One daughter was born in Steinbergen.

Outline use after concluding this section that starrted with the Nachtrage for the daughter: . next to the marriage of Johann Heinrich and his wife . then the birth of their daughters who were not born in Steinbergen . then their confirmations . then their marriages, using thee outline at top of this page. sum up: these are all children born/baptized in Petzen.

Heinrich of No. 19 Evesen is the father in a marriage record, and we have found not just marriage, birth and confirmation (and death) records involving his name, but all Krückebergs.

Daughters of Johann Heinrich Krückeberg

These birth/baptism records list the father abd mother as follows:

These confirmation records also provide the identity of both parents of a child.

These marriage records identify just one parent, the bride’s father, Johann Heinrich Krückeberg of no. 19 Evesen:

Theses recods should have the bride’s 1.) father’s name and his address, which is also her address since bride’s lived at home until marriage. We can use the bride’s age founnd in the marriage record to determine her approximate birth year, and so locate her birth record. Her birth-baptism records will contain both parent’s names and the family’s residence. We will the be able to confirm that the father listed in the marriage record and living at the address given in the marriage record of his daughter, father his daughter by the mother listed both on the birth record.
