My great great grandfather, carl fehlig, was born in Wohldenberg Hannover but since he was Ev Luth he was baptized in Holle Hannover. He was born 24 June 1849. The Ev Luth baptism records are not microfilmed by the FHL. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you know of any genealogy groups which would have knowledge of Wohldenberg or Holle please let me know.
There were several Fehligs who emigrated to St. Louis, Missouri US. Among them are Louisa, b Feb 1836, Heinrich, b approximately 1842, Caroline, August. From a letter written in 1848 back to Hannover from Heinrich to Carl, Caroline, and others, we know they were related. Also Heinrich lived with Louisa Maria Fehlig Dreis (husband was Christian Dreis/Dreiss/ Dreise).
