Hi Peggy,If you go to the following site you will see the distribution of the surname.http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/en/Default.aspxI would definitely try contacting the people in Lower Saxony.Bobbi --- On Sun 03/18, Peggy Phillips� wrote:From: Peggy PhillipsTo: hannover-l@genealogy.netDate: Sun, 18 Mar 2007 18:24:27 -0400Subject: [HN] Meiran from HannoverI am new to this list and am researching the family name of Meiran. My ancestor was Charles Meiran and came from Hannover. I think he was born around 1826 and emmigrated to the US before 1850. It is an unusual last name here in the US, not sure if it is common or not in the Hannover region. The only information I have to go on is a census record where he claims to be from Hannover. Any and all help appreciated.Thanks.--Peggy
Hi Bobbi-Peggy:
I was interested in the URL and found that it didn't work, but then I noticed the I at the end. I deleted the I and it worked. Also I found some good information. Thanks.
