I need help ... I would like to obtain the probate records of my ancestor who lived, died in Wichtenbeck (part of Eimke), Kreis Uelzen (now) .. then Kingdom of Hannover. I was told that I should write to Uelzen for the court records. I know the date of death but I do not know his given name. I found the information about his wife when she remarried to a man named JOHANNES .. and it listed her children by her first husband, Mr. HILLMER. The wife's surname was GRAWELMANN .. and she had inherited a large farm in Wicktenbeck.
Can some one tell me:
1) where to write (address)
2) do I need a form filled out?
3) do I need exact name and/or date?
4) anything else that would be helpful.
