Several weeks ago I asked this question but got no response Maybe I will this time around.
In the middle 1800's if a native of Hannover appled for a request to emigrate to America, was there a time limit that such authorization was limited to? ie, could someone after getting such authorization emigrate 10 years after the original dated document?
Thanks for any input.
Max
Hi Max,
You could write to the Hannover archives center and ask them. I would
think you could get an answer there:

Good luck,

Hi Max,
I know nothing about an application to emigrate from Hannover. And I don't know what you mean by middle 1800's.
But here's just a little evidence to consider.
I have a scan of my g-grandfather's permission to emigrate from Pommern, dated 5 April 1879. It's on-line at
along with a transcription and translation.
It states that, "This release certificate pertains explicitly to the above named persons who, at the time of delivery of the statement, will loose their Prussian citizenship, but it will, however, become invalid, if the released (person) does not within six months the day of the issuing of the release certificate, have his residence outside the country, or obtains citizenship in another German State."
It would seem to me that 10 years difference between the permission and the emigration would indicate that you are looking at 2 different individuals. But that's just my opinion, which isn't worth much.

Hi Max
My g-uncle received approval from the courts in Hannover in 1852. I've seen no time limit on the document, but . . .??

Dear Max,
Perhaps this might be of help at some point. Perhaps not.
