Thank you Barbara, thank you Cord
Yes Barbara i have those in my tree, but as long as i find Hattorffs which
are NOT in the familytree and there are still a lot of question marks of
missing people i am very thankful for every hint i can get. Most of the Hattorfs
have been living in the early years in that Triangle Hattorf, Osterode,
Duderstadt and the closer region like Northeim and so on, later they spread to
Westfalia and Hannover and Brunswick.
Cord i thank you too, i know that some of the old Hattorf familys originally
coming from Osterode or Duderstadt have been living in Brunswick, but
perhaps i should take a closer look on those Brunswick files. Somewere i should
find those missing Hattorfs.
Do you have a special name of the person which was called "Osterode". I know
only one person using this name. That was the father of Valentin Hattorf
(Valtin Hattorp in his days) Hans. He was living in Duderstadt but he was called
"Hans von Osterode" what is only a kind of nickname, his correct name was
Hans Hattorp.
That tree is beginning about 1420 with Hildebrand Hattorp and ends ... no it
ends not, cause there are descendends living in New York and Virginia and
California and i turn the light off here in Germany.
But with help of that group i found more Hattorf names that dont fit into
the tree i have to find out who is who and how they get into that big puzzle.
And that is why its so important for me to find the father of Johann August
Hattorff, cause i dont think that he was the only child of the family, were he
is are perhaps more of the lost Hattorfs.
