[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] FREIGANG family

[Jan Textor]

It could be interesting to know who provided Gustav Freigang's birth data and what source he (or she) was using, because his birth is not registered in the Lutheran parish of Dabie.  Therefore, I think that he was either not born in Dabie, or that he was born at a different date.  Whichever the case is, you will probably not be able to find out about his ancestry without his birth certificate, which would give you the names of his parents.  The marriage record with his first wife could also be helpful.
