I do have a copy of a map of Hannover from around that time. It is a
photocopy of a map from a German atlas which I had access to at Newbery
Library in Chicago Ill.
Hello Brigitte Jahnke
Thank you so much for your E-Mail on Wersen.
I wrote to St. Katharina Church in Voltlage for information on the B�rger
family . They apparently forwarded my letter on to Osnabr�ck. They sent me
birth records for my grandmother and siblings who were born in
Hockel/Voltlage. Their parents were Hermann Heinrich Josef Borger and
Margaretha Elisabeth Bedinghaus born in 1833 and 1837 in Weese/Voltlage.
Her parents were Johann Heinrich Bedinghaus and Maria Franziska Behrens who
lived in Miltendorfs Heuer in Werse is what the letter said. It did not
give their birth dates and they did not emigrate.
I am also very interested in what life was like in that area in 1830-1900.
Can you suggest any books that might give this information?
I know there is no information on this area in the IGI records because I
have checked that source very thoroughly. I am also interested to know if
there are any existing death records and if so, where they might be stored.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
I sent this letter through the list as I did not have your E-Mail address.
My E-Mail is walk3585@cinci.rr.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Marian Walker
