Hello Betty,
perhaps that may be Katlenburg? Katlenburg is situated about 20 km north-east of Göttingen, between Northeim and Osterode/Harz in the former province of Hannover.
Greetings
Wilfried Petersen
Hi Betty:
I tend to agree with Wilfried. I consulted Edna Bentz and
she indicated that many old script German a's tended to
look like they had what we (In the States) think is a "r"
on the tail end of the "a". Then the all you have left is
the interchange of "e" and "u" in the berg/burg and you
have as Wilfried suggested, Katlenburg.

We have also two Kattenberg as parts of Grömitz and Ahrensböck in Schleswig-Holstein.
Werner
Hi Betty:
Here is some more non-help. Old script "t"s can look much
like a traditional American "l", so Werner's reference to
Kattenberg could also be in the ballpark.
However, if you are sure that the town was in the KOH,
then I would stick with Katlenburg. There are church
records available with the FHC
Kirchenbuchduplikat, 1853-1874
The use of "Hanover" after 1871 does make me wonder a
little bit, but it takes a while for people to get used to
political changes.
Oh Oh!! I just got Guenter's e-mail. It makes sense
because references after 1871 would more likely be to the
city of Hanover than the KOH. If this is the right town you have the following resources at the FHS.
