Deves
Here is a story that has been told in our
family and the extended Pagenkopf
family.
Coincidently, one of our Pagenkopf relatives lives in Phoenix, Arizona
and
we have had several visits to discuss genealogy.
The
storyline is that we are related to Kings and Queens.
Here is the story my mother told us and the
same story is found throughout the Pagenkopf family.
Her Great Grandfather (Johan Gotthilf
Pagenkopf) was born in Pomerania, traveled to
America and bought a farm
in
Kansas.
Pomerania is on the Baltic Coast and is now
part of Poland.
Over the past millennium, Pomerania has been ruled by the Teutonic
Knights,
Polish, Russians and in more recent times, Prussia.
After the WWII, it was
included
in the Polish territory.
On Sunday’s, Johan would dress up in his
finest, gather the family on the
farm
and hold court: essentially keeping the story alive that he was of royal
blood. The
story I tell in my historical novel is that Johan was a child of
Prince William Frederick Hohenzollern who later became King of Prussia.
Prince William didn’t marry until he was 27 years old and no doubt had
several
lady friends.
One of these lady friends at the
Koenigsburg Castle
in
Prussia was a young seamstress named Louise Pagenkopf, daughter of
Peter Pagenkopf and older
sister to Martin Pagenkopf.
Louise became pregnant by Prince William and since the young girl was
not
part of a royal family, the Prince was forbidden to marry her.
Peter, Martin and his family and Louise then
live on the farm near Kardemin
and
Louise gives birth to a boy who is named Johan Gotthilf Pagenkopf.
From this boy, Johan, stems our line.
House of Hohenzollern
Here is
the official web site of the House of Hohenzollern http://www.preussen.de/en/today.html;jsessionid=D4E3E65F93960D23C7A0EE8920069E67 The House of Hohenzollern had a 400 plus history of power in Europe. Their philosophy about power and growing their empire was similar to the philosophy of the Hapsburg family of the Holy Roman Empire: "more is achieved through marriage than through war."
King William I of Prussia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_I%2C_German_Emperor
The family line we have researched goes back to Martin Pagenkopf.
Martin Pagenkopf
(b.22 Nov 1799-
Shady The story I tell is that Martin had a sister named Louise. Louise was a very popular name in Prussia for girls because the most beloved Queen was Louise who died in 1810. Louise and Prince Wilhelm Frederick Hollezollern made a child who I called Johan Gotthilf Augusta Pagenkopf.
Johan
Gotthilf Augusta PAGENKOPF (b.20 Apr
1828 in Kardemin,
Daughter: Christina Wilhelmina Pagenkopf.
b.12 Dec 1861-Lyons
Creek,
b.3 Jan 1890-Bracketville,
Married:
Lelia Emily
ROBINSON (b.14 Jul
1893-Plainville,
Married:
Forest Earl Edgell (b.27
Oct 1920-Akron,
What makes this story interesting is that
the Hohenzollern family married into
all
the other Monarchies in Europe (kings and queens).
That would make us
also
related to the current Queen of England, the Kings of Belgium, the
Romanov
family of Russia and many more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Friedrich,_Prince_of_Prussia
So in looking at our gene tree, we are
part Pomeranian (with a gene pool that
survived
all the wars and changing of the guard in Pomerania)
and part Royalty.
Isn’t genealogy fun?
