Biography

Catharina Margaretha Krakenberg was christened 26 Jul 1755 at the Catholic Church of St. Marien in Volkmarsen, then part of the Duchy of Westphalia. Her parents were Joannes Krakenberg and Catharina Elisabetha Funcke.^[1]

She married Bernard Becker 6 Sep 1778 in Volkmarsen.^[2] Baptisms of 6 children have been located in the St. Marien church records between Sep 1779 and Nov 1791.

Research Notes

• No further baptisms have been spotted at St. Marien between Nov 1791 and a year after Bernard's death.
• She does not seem to have remarried at St. Marien 1799 - 1803.
• She may be the Catharina Margaretha Krakenberg on page 8 of the Totenbuch 1817-1830 who dies 15 Oct 1817. The age at death calculates a birth 3 Aug 1755, which is pretty close. However, no (deceased) husband or children are named to confirm this is the same person.
