In this chapter the full family trees are published.
Four lineages
So far we found four different main lineages of the
Giegengack (Gigengack, Geigengack) family. These are:
The Hans Giegengack
lineage
This branch goes back to the year 1600 and is thereby
the oldest known lineage. Descendants of Hans Giegengack,
who died in Kleinschmalkalden in Thüringen, still
live in Germany and also in the USA.
The family members in the USA all stem from Johann
Martin Giegengack (1825 - 1899). >
To the Hans Giegengack Lineage.
The lineages
of Valentin Giegengack and Johan(nes) Giegengack
Valentin Giegengack was born in Thüringen 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 in Denmark
anymore. All Dutch Gigengacks (spelled with 'í')
are from this branch. Johan(nes) Giegengack (1742
- 1829) could be a brother of Valentin. >
To the Valentin Giegengack Lineage.
At the same page you find information about another
old Lineage that we only have little info on. It's
about Moritz Giegengack (born about 1630) and four
of his children. The relation with the other lineages
is not clear. > To
the Baltahasar Giegengack Lineage.
