Baptism of Barend Springorum

8 August 1742 · Henrichenburg, Deutschland

Baptism of Josephus Bernhardus Hendricus (Barend) Springorum in St. Lambertus, Henrichenburg

On 8 August 1742, Josephus Bernhardus Hendricus (Barend) Springorum, the lawful son of Johannes Josephus Springorum and his wife Anna Maria Stratmans, was baptized in the church of St. Lambertus in Henrichenburg, with a distinguished group of godparents that included his paternal grandparents, Johann Heinrich Springorum and Helena Herdinck.

Recorded in the parish baptismal register, this entry provides the only concrete evidence linking Johann Heinrich to his son Johann Joseph and to his grandchild Barend Springorum. The appointment of both grandparents as godparents—a rare occurrence—gives this record exceptional genealogical significance, as without it the connection between the Amsterdam Springorum branch and the Reinhardt Springorum branch could not have been established.
