Re: Hannover-L digest, Vol 1 #902 - 7 msgs

When I went to the government archives in Bamberg the cost was $25.00 Marks
for each record I asked for. This was in July 2001. I had to wait for a
week to get them.

Hello,
       I did the search for Rippe and found what you did. But I am not
sure how you can be sure which Rippe is your person, except by clicking on
one of the names with Christian in it. This leads to the Codes that you
have which contains the town of Hoya. That must be the place of origin
(although you said your people came from Walchold I think one could

presume

that since it is quite small but near to Hoya, that it is listed as Hoya).
The code numbers are somewhat unclear, but again I think that they are
necessary numbers to be used if you want to obtain the exact record from

the

Hannover archives. The numbers could be the same for several persons,
indicating a family group or some such. What you can do then is to email
the archives, including the name(s) of your people and other details you
have) with the code, and they will find the record and send it to you.
There is a fee for each record, but I haven't heard from someone yet who
knows what it costs.
      The email address for Hannover archives is:
          poststelle@staatsarchiv-h.niedersachsen.de

     Another alternative would be to research the Hoya records (of which
the LDS has few, only court records, I believe). Nearly all the Rippes
listed on that emigration list are from Hoya. You may have to write the
church--or be lucky and find someone who has already researched your

family!

Do you want to get the emigration records in order to find the parents

of

your ancestor? Otherwise, since you already know the birthplace you
wouldn't need the emigration record. Could this be the ship list for your
Christian? Traveling as children or the age is wrong. :

If not, you can look at the other Rippes listed on ship lists at this
address:

    I also did a search in the Hannover site for the Peters, but I am not
sure how you found her name there. I don't see it. There are many Peters
on the ship lists at the above address. You might look there.
    I hope I answered your questions,
Barbara
