Hello Hannover Genealogy
I'm writing from Melbourne, Australia
My wife's Lechte family, appear to have connections with Hannover,
Germany, and was hoping someone may have knowledge from their research.
Wilhelm Ludwig Lechte m. Augusta Frederica Charlotte Koch
Left Germany in 1856. Went to Liverpool, England
Family eventually arrived in Melbourne Australia
Brothers George and Fritz
I'm working on the tree at present
However the link between them and earlier Lechtes, and the ones
mentioned below is not known
Maybe the following will help others J I hope it does
I've only one piece of paper that may be of help, translated in German,
but the margins haven't photo copied properly
The RED is some translation provided on the document
