Wedding Bells

Johann Hoppenjan (b. around 1629 in Emsbüren Ahlde, Prussia) married Angela (b. around 1641 in Emsbüren Ahlde, maiden name unknown) around 1675 in Emsbüren in a Roman Catholic cermony according to the church records of Emsbüren and the diocese of Osnabrück. A picture of the cathedral can be found here, but it is not the family church. (Note: you may have seen in on television as the diocese was part of the World Youth Day 2005 and the Papal visit). Here is a Catholic church in Emsbüren that may the one of interest to us, but I cannot be sure.

The couple had four children:

Gebbula (b. around 1677)
Johann (b. around 1681)
Lambert (b. around 1686)
Lukretia (b. around 1690)

At this time I can only find descendants of Lambert, which is a good thing since he is part of the direct line leading to MH. More as I get time!
