I just located my Great Grandmother, Katrina Wendt. The information said
she was born in 1804 in Hannover, Niedersachsen, Germany. Would the Hannover
be the same as the Kingdom of Hannover? Also is Niedersachsen the name of a
town? If so where is it located in Germany? Her husband was Heinrich
Sigusmond Wendt. He never came to America. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I also have a Katarina Wendt in my files, she is the daughter of Gebkke
Langen and Heinrich Wendt and was born 1799; if by any chance she had a
brother Heinrich Sigismund, I do not know. Her family was from Sudweyhe near
Bremen. In case you get more details and see a possible connection, let me
know.
Hannover could either be the city of Hannover or the area of the former
kingdom of Hannover, which in many parts is identical with what today is
called Niedersachsen. All the locations you mentioned are not very precise,
so finding the exact place will be e challenge.
It's not so easy to give a helpful answer.
Hannover could be the city of Hannover but also the Kingdom of Hannover. I
have the same problem with an emigrant to England. The census tells his
place of birth is Hannover but nobody in Hannover City (Archives) have
information about him and so I think he came from the Kingdom of Hannover.
But which place?
Most emigrants from the Kingdom of Hannover told they would come from
Hannover. Nobody knows today from which Hannover.
Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) is a state (province) of Germany. It's located
in the north of Germany. The capital is Hannover. It was founded after WW2.
Unfortunately does I know nothing about your Wendt family. I hope the other
explanation was a small help.
Have a nice weekend.

Have you already visited my web page?
Hanover at 1804 will be the kingdom of Hannover.
Niedersachsen is not a town, it��s a state like your Iowa, Ohio etc.
Wendt is a very common name in Germany. Do you know from waht
port she started to the US?
Try GEOGEN and you may see whre most of the Wendts today live.
