• Notes

  Line in Record @I009@ (RIN 9) from GEDCOM file not recognized: ALIA Magdelena /Aegendener/ Line in Record @I009@ (RIN 9) from GEDCOM file not recognized: CENS Magdelena Aegender is possibly the Eva Agener that married Anton Sold/Solt on 7 May 1750. Listed in the Jordan Church records on page 12 of the Record Book 1740 - 1850, translated by Rev. A.S.Leiby, is an entry for the marriage of Anton Sold and Eva Agener. Eva is not a nickname for Magdelena that I know of. However, one nickname of both Magdelenas and Evas back then was Lena. Perhaps her given name was Eva Magdelena. People back then did not understand German names. They were given spiritual saint names that look like first names to us. This spiritual name was only used in official records/ceremonies, etc. Their everyday name was really what we would call their middle name. So, my guess would be either Eva and Magdelena are one and the same or Johannes and Margarita had a daugther named Eva born to them after arriving in America. This Agener spelling was used for other Aegenders records and there aren't any children of Johan Matthias Egner (also of Lehigh County in the same time period) old enough to be this Eva or have that name. It is a known fact that there were Solts in Rowan County NC.
