Hello Jane,
your Lindemann's first name Cyriacus could mean that he was a Catholic.
Is this correct?
Best wishes for you
Hello Mary Jane,
if your ancestor was a protestant I have a protestant Lindemann family
in my ancestry (chances are slight Lindemann being a current name)
Ferdinand Heinrich Dietrich Lindemann *6.12.1805 Rahden. Heinrich was a
minister in Kirchlengern, oo Charlotte Caroline Meyer from Petershagen.
parents: merchant Ernst Christian Venghaus called Lindemann oo
Margarethe Katharine Lindemann.
There are other Lindemanns in Rahden (IGI) and Westphalia.
