Hello,
I am trying to obtain confirmation of the birth of Hermann Ferdinand Hachez in Celle, Hannover, on 20 SEPT 1818. His birth date and place are listed that way on a family group sheet of the Johann Ferdinand Dominikus Hachez family of Bremen. The family was Catholic.
It appears that the family group sheet was prepared around the time of Johann F. D. Hachez's death, in preparation for the distribution of his estate to his heirs. In the will, he is listed as Ferdinand Hermann Hachez, the name that he used when he came to America in 1854.
I know that there is microfilm of the Kirchenbuch, 1706-1865, for Celle available through the LDS Family History Centers. However, as the records are in German and Latin, I don't know how successful I could be in finding this ancestor.
I would welcome any advice on how to be most successful when viewing these old records. Also, does anyone on the list do research in Celle?
Danke!
