Note: "The Gießen family book part 1 (1575 - 1730) by Otto Stumpf was published in three volumes by the Upper Hessian History Association as early as 1976. But these books have long been out of print. For reasons of space, the sponsorship information, which is often so important to clarify the family connections, was also missing. These were here by Marion Wächter, who unfortunately died far too early, with the support of Dr. Brake from the Giessen city archive also added. Some genealogical information on people from the Giessen emigration society has also been incorporated."

Note: "Unfortunately, the original church book from 1684-1875 was not available for the creation of the Lang-Göns family book. Therefore, the backup film of the church book mapping by Pastor Wahl, stored in the Giessen University Library, was used because the original mapping itself can no longer be found. But already for the filming some index cards must have been missing. The different manuscripts also suggest that the pastor was supported by the confirmands. Any information before 1684 was kindly sent to me by Mr. Hartmut Klein."
