Hello, I'm Mike Böger and I'm looking for any information about Böger's in the regio Lippe. Specialy 2 places Rodenberg (Deister-Hannover) and Osterode am Harz.

I want to ask if somebody knows how I can find the church-books of Rodenberg & Osterode. I'm from Holland and I want to visit Germany to search the birth, mariage & death records from those city's.

My -old-father Johannes Böger was born in Rodenberg in the year 1778. He came to Holland and maried there Johanna Ponsen.
His father was Johann Conrad Böger. He was probably born in Osterode on 22-1-1739 and he maried (1763 or 1768) Sophie Charlotte Meyer. She came from Rodenberg. He died 1809 in Rodenberg. His father was named Conrad Böger and he was born probably also in Osterode. He was tailor (schneider) in Osterode.

I know that a lot of church records ar on microfische. Maybe in Detmold or Hannover.

If you know where I have to search please let me know.

Kindest regards,

Mike Böger

Dear Mike,

Rodenberg and Osterode belong to Lower Saxony. Therefore you should contact the Hannover Forum.

For Rodenberg I can tell you, that it was part of "Grafschaft Schaumburg" and as I know the microfichs are in "Staatsarchiv Bückeburg", which is close to Minden. For Osterode I have no idea, but would contact the "Staatsarchiv Hannover" and ask for help.

Hope this helps?

Regards
