To the List,

I am under the impression that the Archives in Hannover contain copies of
All the Old church records from the Hannover area. Records that LDS was
not allowed to film. I am also under the impression that the public can
have access to these records. Am I correct in my thinking.

I ask this question because a gentleman who lives near Hannover does not
think this way. He has been to the "Civil Registry Office" for his
information. Is the "Archives" something different? Can some one advise
me as to the location of the Archives so I can pass it along to him.
Thank You I await an answer---Bob Marhenke

Hello Bob,

All the Old church records from the Hannover area. Records that LDS was
not allowed to film. I am also under the impression that the public can
have access to these records. Am I correct in my thinking.

Yes, you are right. The records are here:

Kirchenbuchamt Hannover
Hildesheimerstrasse
Hannover

look at: www.kirchenbuchamt.de

But these records contain the years from the beginning until 1874/75. From then on the "Civil Registry Offices" had to do this work. They give information only to direct descendants of a person.
