Johann Valentin GIEGENGACK
Johann Valentin was born in Roßdorf, Thüringen in March 1750. Baptized in Roßdorf on 26 March 1750. Godfather is Johann Valentin WICHLER, youngest son of late Johann Wolf WICHLER. <XXXIV>
He died in the Fredriks Hospital in København (Copenhagen), Denmark on 4 February 1798.
Profession: Johann Valentin Giegengack was a tailor (like his father) and later he became a soldier/sergeant [Schneider, Soldat/Sergeant - kleermaker, soldaat/sergeant].

Johann Valentin Giegengack, a tailor (like his father), 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 Johann 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.

Johann Valentin engaged in København (Copenhagen) on 17 September 1779 and married in København on 7 January 1780 to Maria Eleonora BIESERIN.

  The Garrison Church stands on Sankt Annæ Plads, not far from Amalienborg, the residence of the royal family. It was completed in 1706 and built to replace the Chapel of Sophie Amalienborg's Castle where the Copenhagen garrison had attended church since 1689. The interior is dominated by two-storey galleries along the walls. The impressive baroque altar-piece of marble was completed in 1724 by the sculptors Just Wiedewelt and Didrik Gercken.
   
Johan Christian GIEGENGACK
Forefather of the Dutch Branches and the Bocholt Branch.
Johan Christian Giegengack was born in København, Denmark on 23 September 1788. He was baptized in Garnisons Kirke, København, Denmark on 28 September 1788. Johan Christian left Denmark between 1826 and 1828 and settled down in the Netherlands.
He died 73 years old in Zutphen, the Netherlands on 7 October 1861.
Profession: musician (also in the army?), pedlar, tailor [Spielmann, Schneider, Potkrämer - speelman, muzikant, kleermaker, marskramer]. Johan Christian Gigengack is mentioned to be a tailor in 1846 and 1852.

At the age of about 10 years old, both his parents had already died. We have information that Johan Christian and his little brother Friederich Wilhelm lived in an orphan house (Vaisenhuset) for a short period of time. When he was 13 years old, Johan Christian lived together with his brother with the family of Christopher BERENTZ and his wife Anne Dorothea KRABE in Sankt Annæ Vester Kvarter, København. (Census 1801. <XXIV>)

Johan Christian, about 25 years old, was married in ... on ... to Maria Wilhelmina MENTING. She was born in Rhede (Westfalen, Germany) on 13 August 1791, daughter of Jacob MENTING and Elisabeth SICKING. She was baptized in the Catholic parish church 'St. Gudula 'in Rhede on August 14, 1791. Maria died at the age of 71 years in Zutphen on 7 August 1863. <XIV>
Profession: seamstress [Näherin - naaister].

In 2019 we received information suggesting that Johan Christian got to know his wife because of her father's profession. Jacob Menting (1746 - 1808) was a potter in Rhede. He probably supplied the products that Johan Christian needed to trade with. Maria Wilhelmina's profession, by the way, was a seamstress, which again fitted in well with Johan Christian's last profession, namely that of a tailor (source: Georg Menting, Lippstadt). <XXXVI>
