Baptism of Willem Springorum

Joan Wilm (Willem) Springorum, the legitimate son of Johann Joseph Springorum and his wife Anna Maria Stratmans, was born on 21 November 1744 and baptized two days later, on 23 November 1744, in the parish church of St. Lambertus in Henrichenburg.

The baptism was recorded in the parish register, naming Jan Willem Strakhausen and Anna Springmühler as godparents. This entry confirms Willem’s place within the Henrichenburg branch of the Springorum family and provides firm documentary evidence of the family’s continued presence in the parish during the mid-18th century.
