Looking for the location where one of my ancestors was born. The place of
birth is listed as:
Carlsrad, Herbstadt, Hannover. He was born in 1841.
I have a current map of Germany, but could not find this place.
Thanks for any information.

Hello Seria
Looking for the location where one of my ancestors was born. The place of birth is listed as:
Carlsrad, Herbstadt, Hannover. He was born in 1841. I have a current map of Germany, but could not find this place.
There are elements which do not fit together.
Is this information a transcription or can you read it from the original ?
There is a 'Herbststadt' in Bavaria. (unlikely, isn't it ?)
The closest I can come to match the three Names are
Hallstedt, Harpstedt (?!) , Henstedt, Horstedt (all in Kr. Syke)
+ Kolnrade (Colnrade, Kollenrade) (also Kr. Syke).
Harpstedt and Kolnrade are about 10 miles apart ... and both AGer. Bassum
Does this make sense ?
Happy New Year !!
(There are elections in 2008 ? Right ? So it should be a happy year ...)

I found a Carlsbad on Google in Germany.
