>Barbara: Based on your email here and a couple of others prior to
this, I went on to the http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/ website
to look for my Butt and Tiedemann ancestors. I know some German,
but apparently not enough to figure out this website! Could you
please take the time to "walk me through" where I should be
entering the Butt and Tiedemann names? I believe they came from
the northwestern part of Hannover kingdom, but have yet to
determine the village - maybe in the general area of Osnabr�ck, but
not sure at this point.
