Good Evening
Is anyone out there researching the GODE family in Oldenburg? I am stuck!!
My earliest record belongs to a Hinrich GODE who married Anne Woebken on 10
October 1818 in Oldenburg. Their son Johan Gustav GODE was born 17 October
1819 in Oldenburg and he married Margarete Wilhelmine Jannsen from Varel on
8 May 1849. When I search in familysearch.org for a Hinrich GODE born in
the 1790's, the only one I find was born in Sweden.
Can anyone advise me on the next steps to take in locating the birth records
and marriage record of the above Hinrich and Anne?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Marlsie
Hi Marlsie!
This is an entry from the OFB Varel:
No. 6677
GODE, Johann Gustav, Bäckermeister in Oldenburg, * am 17.10.1820 in Oldenburg, luth.
oo am 8.5.1849 in Varel.
JANSSEN, Wilhelmine Louise, * am 11.6.1820 in Varel, getauft am 28.6.1820 Varel, luth. (parents #10014)
Tochter: 1) GODE, Auguste Hermine Christine * am 14.10.1852 in Oldenburg i. O., + am 28.4.1882
in Varel 29J #6523
From the book "Buch der Bürgeraufnahmen der Stadt Oldenburg von 1740-1853):
7. Mai 1819: Hinr. Gode, Bäcker
This means Hinrich Gode was inhabitant of the town Oldenburg since May 1819.

Hello,
the Oldenburg marriage register offers for Oct 10, 1818:
Hinrich Gode, son of Johann [Dierk] Gode, Am Neuen Wege, Kirchspiel Holle
oo
Anne Woebken, daughter of Lüder Woebken from Bornhorst.
For further data one would have to look through the church registers of Oldenburg and Holle.
For the Janssen from Varel I would recommend the CD-ROM Ortsfamilienbuch (village heritage book) published by the OGF, available from their online shop at:
http://www.genealogienetz.de/vereine/OGF/index.html (go to online shop, then scroll down to village heritage books).
Hope this helps
Yours

Thank you very much also Andrea. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you again Andrea for this information. Some of my information was
quite incorrect. As you will have seen I had Margarete Wilhelmine Jannsen
and a different birth date instead of Wilhelmine Louise Janssen. However
the attached is the correct family because I know one of the sisters of my
great grandmother is Auguste Hermine Christine born 14 October 1852. All my
searching for the Janssen family has been using the other name.
Kind Regards

Heiko,
Are you able to clarify for me where Holle might be. When I do a search in
my Family Tree Maker I get a Holle which is just south east of Oldenburg
which I presume would be the place. When I search in google for Kirchspiel
Holle, I find it is in Kreis Hildesheim, which is in Lower Saxony (still
close I think).
Would you kindly direct me where I should write to seek assistance for
someone to lookup the church register in Holle to find a birth for Hinrich
Gode? I appreciate your help and am excited I can now proceed further.
Kind Regards
Marlse
It was mentioned
"From the book "Buch der Bürgeraufnahmen der Stadt Oldenburg von 1740-1853):
7. Mai 1819: Hinr. Gode, Bäcker
This means Hinrich Gode was inhabitant of the town Oldenburg since May
1819."
Does this mean that Hinrich Gode lived elsewhere prior to May 1819 (perhaps
Holle)?
Where would I write to for Kirchspiel Holle

Hello,
It is definitely the Holle SE south east of Oldenburg. I found Hinrich Gode was born July 26, 1792 in Neuenwege, Kirchspiel (parish) Holle. His parents were: Johann Dirk Gode, Heuermann (tenant farmer) in Neuenwege, and Margarete Frese.
What the book says is that in 1819 he was accepted as a citizen of Oldenburg. He may have lived elsewhere before, but, as far as I interpret this, he may also have lived in Oldenburg before, but without all the citizens' rights. Many "little people" like workers, maids, etc., lived in the cities not as full fledged "citizens" but just as "inhabitants".
Yours
Heiko
