Hello Colleen,

mentioned are on this list.

The numerical code given with each of them is that the place of
residence is this:
Oberbergamt Clausthal-Zellerfeld Fach 154
I do not know exactly what the Obergeramt refers to. I can't find it
in the Autoatlas I have. It may refer to a region or something like that.
Clausthal-Zellerfeld is a city south of Goslar. You can order records from
the Hannover archives. It will have more information about that family. I
will send you some directions privately as to how to do that.
Good luck,
Barbara
Dear Colleen, dear Barbara,
"Oberbergamt" is the higher governmental mining-administration. I don't know why it's mentioned as
the place of residence. But IF Clausthal or Zellerfeld is the place your ancestors came from, you
get informations by the Lutheran church archieve of Hanover:
Ev.-luth. Stadtkirchenverband
Kirchenbuchamt
Hildesheimer Stra�e 165 - 167
