Anna Margaretha's
birthdate and place of birth as Aschendorf and her parents'
names were known to family researchers from records in Slagharen.
Her birth record was not found in Aschendorf parish so parish
records of Lathen (in Amt Aschendorf) were checked because
a brother was thought to have been baptized there. A corresponding
birth/baptismal record was found in Lathen for Anna Grethe
BEHRENS born in Melstrup. Other information given above
came from the web page of Olivia Berndsen or the WorldConnect
database of Jean Zacha Kohler.

searched and her birth record was found in that parish although listing her birth in
Ruehle instead of Teglingen. Both villages were in the same parish. Her parents' names
were taken from that record. This ID is supported by the fact that Herman Berling from
Ruehle, who appears to have been a half-brother, was godfather for one of her chidlren and
both Margaret and Jacob Chrosthans/Grothues were godparents for children of Herman.
Margaretha's husband's name was known from the records of their chidlren baptized at St.
