To the List.
As some of you know I am researching my Marhenke roots. In fact I have
been for much of my life. In this period I have tried about every thing
to find out something about my Gr. Grandfather Christian Marhenke. I
once wrote to 125 Marhenke addresses in Germany and received about 20
replies. Try as I may I could never make a family connection with any of
them. My research led me to Marienhagen, Hannover Germany. LDS have never
photographed the Parishes I need. I prevailed on my German friends to
research for me with minimal success.
A couple months ago a cousin and I decided to " bite the bullet" and
contact a professional researcher. We contacted Jens Muller-Koppe from
Bremen. Jens went to the Hannover Archives and in just a few short hours
found what I had been looking for over thirty three years. At 72 years
of age finally my goals have been reached. I found Jens to be efficient,
competent, honest and prompt and I highly recommend him.
I am still living the great feeling that came with his very complete
research a few days ago. Jens can be reached hrs@hist.de or check his

PS Any Marhenke researchers out there, contact me and I will share
