Kirchebuch amt Hannover

I have requested at the Kirchebuch-amt in Hannover, to look something up for
me if possible.
On the page itself is a tab with the costs..
HOWever... i received a letter from a lady in Hannover, which was forwarded
to me via the 'Amt' with a charge of E(uro)35 per HOUR
that is quite steep! and why does the Kirchebuch amt has a 'rate-page' with
much less? Is that when someone visits the archive??

Someone in the group mentioned 'working with the churchbook
1654-1753..(Leese)
Is there a site where a person can look names up digitally??

Has anybody has the same experience?or another solution?

Best regards

Hello Willemine,

on the 'rate-page' are indicated costs of 8 Euro per each breaked quarter of an hour when the Kirchenbuchamt does a research. From 1.1.2007 in Germany the VAT shall be increased from 16 to 19 %. Probably the rates of the Amt are also increased. These rates are quite normal for researches done by archives or churches in Germany.

Hello Wilhelmine,

That`s me, who is reading the churchbooks of Leese - but not online! I sometimes go to the churchoffice and read in the original books.

Without permission of the church, who is owner of the books, it is not possible to put all the information into the net.
So for you so far away is no other possibility than to pay charge for someone doing this work. The charge of 8 Euros I have to pay when I go to the Kirchenbuchamt and do the research by myself.

MfG Susanne

I used to do cemetery photos and asked just for price of film, developing and mailing prints to them. Many people were very offended, never considering my gasoline and a whole day of my time to do all that!

You are very generous Susanne. I wish my ancestors were in Leese and I could share in your kindness and willingness for those who are researching there! How lucky these people, who have their ancestors in Leese!
