What is the address for this list as I have several
family members from germany and would like to find how
they got to the USA and at what time. They came from
Hannover Germany. The Hannover Emigration Index may
help find out. Thanks

Barbara for posting all of the information and
instructions for the on-line Hannover Emigration
Index. I found my great great grandfather Heinrich
WIEDEBUSCH and family on the list. Unfortunately
the archives didn't respond to my request.
Fortunately, I found an excellent researcher who
goes to the Hannover area twice a year to visit her
sister and do genealogy work. She located the list
which gave the name of the village, Meinbrexen, for
Heinrich. She was able then to take parts of the
line back to the early 1600s. And from that record
I have the village of my great great grandmother,
Louisa GIESLER--Lauenf�rde. This is a line that I
never thought that I would be able to locate because
I only had the general locations of Hannover and
Braunschweig to go by. Than you Barbara. Carol

I'll send it to you privately since it is lengthy and has been posted on
this list several times.

Hullo Barbara,
Can you tell me more about the above list. I have family that came from
Hannover to Australia and great-uncles that went to America. Would I be
able to locate how and when they left Hannover?
Kind regards
Marlene
Here it is:
Searching the Osnabrück, Hannover, Wolfenbüttel emigration records is done
by going to the website:http://app.staatsarchive.niedersachsen.de/findbuch/
It is a little confusing to use, especially if you don't know German. On
the first page:
Choose one of the three locations on the bar & click Abschicken
Go to Index in the middle of the page and click
Fill in the surname you are looking for in the box "Suchbegriff"
Choose Personen where it says nach Ort
Click on Suchen starten and you will get a list of persons who emigrated
from Germany with that name. Or you may get nothing! Try the same search on
all 3 locations.
Note the number on the right column. That number will direct you to the
town later. Click on a name that matches a person you are looking for and
you will get a code that will be what you use to order the record.
Finding what area the person comes from is not easy. On the Hannover
site, it often names a town right in the code. For Osnabrück it is harder,
although it sometimes names the town or part of it. Don't presume anything
about the town . You need to go back to the page where you first clicked on
Index and this time click on Gliederung.
There you will see a list of towns and if you click on the numbers on
the left, you will get a listing of the numbers of people who emigrated from
that area. The numbers start with 1 and go up from there. So if the number
is 5 digits it will be closer to the bottom of the list. But you have to go
to the one that has the number in it from the right column of the page with
the list of names. When you find the right one, the code will match the
code you saw earlier tied to the name you were looking for. I know this is
confusing. I have explained the process many times on this site and it
never is very clear!
Then, you can order the records from one of the 3 locations. The email
addresses are:
Hannover@nla.niedersachsen.de
osnabueck@nla.niedersachsen.de
