Report done by Dorothy Scheer has Michael Langenfeld, born, "1 April 1817; Langenfeld, Nordheim-Westpha, Germany"; (should perhaps be Nordrhein-Westfalen; present day, North Rhine-Westphalia; Langenfeld located between Duseldorf and Koln "Cologne" Germany);
Report by Bill Langenfeld, "Book of Langenfeld" has birth date of 31 March 1817; Rheinland-Pfalz, Prussia, Germany; Christened 1 April 1817; same location. (Rheinland-Pfalz is located south of Nordrhein-Westfalen and is present day Rhineland-Palatinate)
I believe most all of Germany was known as Prussia until about 1871; comments, questions, additional information or corrections always welcome.Rob Arnold (h/o Deboran Langenfeld ggggg granddaughter of J.Q.Langenfeld) makes following statement on Langenfeld list;
"Father Nicholas John Langenfeld, --- descended from the Marytown, WI Langenfelds died in 1994. He spent much of his life researching the Langenfelds and travelling to Germany. Some of his info was left with a Langenfeld cousin in Rapid City, SD who forwarded it to me. Here is some info Fthr Nick gathered":
In Europe:
1) The village "Langenfeld" where US Langenfelds descend from (and the
village from where the Langenfeld surname originates) is 27 miles WNW from
Koblenz, Germany in the Eifel Mountain Range.
(This would be the Langenfeld in Rheinland-Pfalz reported in Bill Langenfeld's "Book of Langenfeld")
Other towns:
2) Langenfeld, city on the Rhein River, 13 miles N. of K�ln, Germany.
(This is the Langenfeld in Dorothy Scheer's report, located in Nordrhein-Westfalen)
3) L�ngenfeld, a village on the �tztaler Ache (river), 25 miles SW of
Innsbruck, Austria.
4) Langenfeld, a village 30 miles NW of N�rnberg, Germany.
