The Valentin Giegengack Lineage

Valentin Giegengack was born in Thüringen, Germany in 1735 and went to Denmark, where he died in 1798. His descendants live in Germany and the Netherlands. As far as we know there are no relatives of him in Denmark anymore. All Dutch Gigengacks (spelled with 'í') are from this branch.

Johan(nes) Giegengack (1742 - 1829) could be a brother of Valentin. He also lived in Denmark.

Jørgen Gigengack can not be related directly to other family members. Till now we don't know who his parents are. According to our sources he is born in Denmark. Researchers of the Historical Archive in Sakskøbing believe he is an illegitimate son of Johannes Giegengack. <XXIII> His descendants still live in Denmark nowadays.

First we give an overview of the Valentin Lineage. The four largest Branches of this Lineage are displayed on four different pages:
a. the Bocholt Branch
b. the Hengelo Branch
c. the Haarlem Branch, and
d. the Amsterdam Branch.

DEN
Valentin GIEGENGACK
Valentin or Johann Valentin Giegengack was born in Thüringen, Germany in about 1735 (other source says 1749 <XXIV>), he died in the Fredriks Hospital in København (Copenhagen), Denmark on 4 February 1798.
Profession: Valentin Giegengack was a tailor (like his father) and later he became a soldier/sergeant [Schneider, Soldat/Sergeant - kleermaker, soldaat/sergeant].

Valentin Giegengack, a tailor (like his father, about whom we further don't know anything) comes from Thüringen. He was a soldier in the German city of Zerbst, close to Magdeburg, Sachsen-Anhalt. (During that time Zerbst was under the rule of Prince Friedrich August of Anhalt-Zerbst, brother of Catherine the Great. He had a great liking for the military profession. But in 1777-'78 without scruples he sold 600 men - two regiments - of his Jeverane and Zerb citizens as soldiers to England, that then for the first time waged war in its rebellious colony in North America. Already during transit to America it came to heavy losses of soldiers. Also many soldiers tried to desert.)

In 1771 Valentin was in Oldenburg (Northern Germany, but from 1667 to 1773 under Danish government) recruited by a certain sergeant Pedersen for military service in Denmark. On 7 August 1771 he joined the 'Norsk Livregiment'. On 17 July 1772 he became a Corporal. In 1787 he is Com. Sergeant in the Kgl. Norske Livregiment 7th Musketerkompagni in København. On 21 May 1780 he became Sergeant. On 2 June 1793 Corporal again (reason unknown). At the time of his death he was a member of the 'Norske Livregiment', Capitain von Gyldenfeldt Kompagnie, stationed at the Sølvgades Kaserne in København.

Valentin was married in København (Copenhagen), Denmark on 7 January 1780 to Marie Eleonora BISER(IN), BIESERIN, BIESINGER, BIRSER or BYSSE. She was born in København (Copenhagen), Denmark on ... about 1762 (other source says about 1748 <XXIV>), she died in ... on ... 1796. <XIV>
They had six children. In the census [volkstelling] of 1787 only the third child Johanne Elisabeth is mentioned. From this we conclude that the first two children died before or in 1787.
