Just three months after Heinrich <strong>Lunghusen</strong>`s parents died his paternal grandmother died as well. The 54 years old Conrad had to take care for his three young grandchildren and we can assume that they either grew up in the Mindermann/Lünkhusen family (see above) or in the farm of Johann Hinrich Lünkhusen, on the Lünkhusen farm in Fischerhude. Jihann Hinrich married just one month after his mother died (for his family see part VI. below). Wilstedt burial register (/1852) + 16.10.1852, 6 a.m., buried: 20.10.1852 Conrad Lynkhusen Altenteiler in Fischerhude 73 years, 9 months old, died of weakness, buried in silence We are lucky, that the age is listed as detailed in this burial record of your Conrad Lüninghausen, so that we can calculate his baptismal of about January 1779. III. The family of Bohlke Lüninghausen (father of Conrad, see chapter II.) Based on Conrad`s marriage abd burial records it seemed to be for sure that Conrad was born in Rautendorf as a son of Bohlke Lüninghusen. After Rautendorf had belonged to the parish of Lilienthal before the Grasberg church was buildt and founded in 1789 Conrad should have been baptized in Lilienthal. But Conrad`s baptismal record was not listed in the parish records of Lilienthal! Although there officially was no free choice of church attendence, but fixed, regulated church districts there might be a small chance that Conrad was baptized in one of the parishes east of Lilienthal (Wilstedt or Otterstedt). If his baptismal record is not listed in both parishes, we have to conclude that Conrad´s baptismal record was forgotten by the Lilienthal record keeper. Moreover I hoped, that the baptismal record of Conrad might have been recorded in the handwritten duplicate (“Zweitschriften” 7 ) of the Lilienthal parish records, so I went to our genealogical society of Bremen (Die MAUS) to check these records for the years 1778-1780. But in the “Zweitschriften” Conrad´s baptismal record was not listed as well. I tried this, because the I hoped, that his baptismal record might have been added to the “Zweitschriften”, correcting the orginal parish registers. Lilienthal marriage register (p. 19/1767) oo 24.04.1767 Bohlke Lüninghausen legitimate son of Johann Lüninghausen in Moorhausen with Becke [K]eits legitimate daughter of Hermann [K]eits from Heydtbergen 7 These so called “Zweitschriften” had to be recorded and handed over to the county (Amt) administration by all parishes in the region north and northwest of Bremen from 1715 on. Usually the data of the orginal parish registers and the data in the “Zweitschriften” are more than 99 % identical. But is some cases faults were corrected or entried were added, which had been forgotten. These “Zweitschriften” have a lot of serious gaps before 1765 (no such records exist at all for 1727-1745, 1747-1750, 1753-1758 and 1764). 8
married at this very place “im Kranze 8 ” future place of residance is Rautendorf In the online OFB of Grasberg the name of Bohlke´s wife is listed as Becke Kücks, but the orginal records has her name spelled as Keits. I asked a collegue of mine at the archive to look at the record as well, and we both read the name as Keits (or possibly Reits). I think, that the spelling of this name in the orginal record might indeed be wrong and the name Kücks would have been meant after there have been no Keits/Reits families in the Lilienthal parish at all. Another argument would be, that Hermann and Johann had Kück godparents. Heydtbergen (today`s spelling Heidberg) is a village located about 7 kilometer west of Rautendorf. Heidberg has belonged to the Lilienthal parish. Bohle Lüninghausen and Becke – who moved to Rautendorf just seven years after the village had been founded – were amongst the pioneer settlers and farmers of Rautendorf, the ones, who cultivated this wet moor land. The cultivation was a project of the state of Hannover from the 1750s on and the settlers did not only get their land and wood for their houses for free, but as well the privilege that they and their sons would not be draftet into the Hannover Army and did not have to pay any taxes for a certain period (about 15 years). Nevertheless these pioneer settlers had a very hard time to buildt up their houses and farms in the “Teufelsmoor” (Devil`s Moor). Some of the ones who gave up and left their land, running away were searched and punished as deserters. 1 Lilienthal baptismal register (p. 84/1768) *+ 03.05.1768, buried: 07.05. 1768 daughter father: Bohlke Lüninghausen mother: his wife Becke remark: died a few hours after her birth, the baptism in extremis [...] The quality of the microfilm was badly, so I couldn´t read the complete record. An official baptism obviously did not take place, so that this daughter did not have a name. 2 Lilienthal baptismal register (p. 86/1769) * 10.08.1769, baptized: 11.08.1769 Hermann father: Bohlke Lüninghausen mother: his wife Becke godparents: bachelor […] Kück Hinrich Rosebrook Anna Maaß For the family of Hermann, see chapter VII. 3 Lilienthal baptismal register (p. 92/1772) 8 'im Kranze': The bride was only allowed to wear a flower garland (Crantz/Kranz) at her marriage if the community and the priest were convinced of her virtue and virginity. 9
