Questions regarding location and location of records

Dear Hannover Listers,
I am sorry about the English. I am assuming that many of you on this
list are English speaking. If not, I am in trouble already. :slight_smile:

This is my first attempt at locating information about my known German
ancestors. This is what I know:
This information is being taken from a transcription of a baptismal
certificate that was in the posession of a distant cousin.
Joachim Heinrich Guhl - of Holtorf, Amtsgarten, Province Hannover and
his wife Anna Maria born Warmunde - also born at Holtorf are the
parents of Katharina Maria Guhl born 20th Sept., 1833.
This record states that it was copied from the Holtorf-churchfiles.
It is dated May the 4th of 1854 by Fr. W. Schultze, Pastor from
Holtorf and Korzern.

My questions:
I have seen Holtorf on a map, but it was some time ago. Can anyone
give me any information on Holtorf, the possible name of the church
the record was copied from, or the possibility of finding addional
records in existance today?
Is there a different List available which may be better suited for
questions on the Holtorf area?
If anyone is researching the Guhl family, I would like to hear from
you. I first find evidence of this family in the Defiance Co. and
Henry Co., Ohio, USA, area in 1855.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Clarence,
There are several Holtorfs in Hannover. Are you sure about "Korzern"? May there
be a misreading of that name?
Best regards,
Juergen

Hello Clarice,

     Have you tried using the LDS (Mormon) website (www.familysearch.org)?
You can do a person search for your people there.

      Perhaps, more importantly, if you look in the Family History Catalog
under a "place" search, there are some church records for two different
Holtorf villages. There are microfilms for those records and you could view
them at a Family History Library near you.

Good luck,
Barbara
