Baddeckenstedt is a small place (ab. 3.000 inhabitants) in the Kreis
Wolfenbüttel, maybe 50 km from Hannover (town) and 25 km from Hildesheim.

Some time ago, kindly sent the following from the Fritz Gruhne Book.

I don't know exactly what it means, or if it means any lead for you at all.
However.....
Hallendorf

^ site gives place called Bleckenstedt 2.3 Nautical Miles from Hallendorf.
Perhaps Bleckenstedt a place to look?
Max, did you ever find your Burgdorf ancestors on the 1880 census? I cannot find them and was wondering if you did.
Also, did you check out possible relationship to your Burgdorfs to August Burgdorf?

P.S. I think the Rev. August Burgdorf's son was in St. Louis circa WWI. He was student at Concordia Semenary.
Dear Max,
Some time ago you wrote:
The thread was getting a bit long so a new reply.
Julius' son was baptised in New Orleans with only the birthplace of Julius being noted. Other than the child Wilhelm the names of his father, Julius Wilhelm Burgdorf born in Heildesheim in Hanover, and his mother Maria nee Kirschein born in Berlin are on the certificate. The officiating minister is Hermann Perpeet, and one witness, Mr. Edward Barke. The date in 19 March 1870.
I was aware of the larger town Burgdorf but only recently found out that there is a smaller village by the same name. I have searched neither.
On the Wolfbuttel list I found several Burgdorfs none of which seemed to fit. Other listers have also taken a look. But there were several Burgdorf surnames that had no given names that I did not pursue.
His birth year range was determined by the age on his emigration application and from his death certificate. From the emigration info he would have been born in 1826, from his death certificate he would have been born in 1825.
