Thanks for the information on Heinrich Schrader. What is confusing me is that on the baptismal record of his first born child - Heinrich Schrader Jr. he put down that his place of birth was Watzum, Duchy of Braunschweig and his wife Margaretha Luring put down Stadh, Kingdom of Hannover. Other records indicate she may have been born in Sollingen.
So if Watzum is not correct where do I look next? I do know they were Lutheran's. Do you have any other records or surrounding villages that may have him listed? Or where do I get ahold of records like you have?
Just read your posting and hope you do not mind that I just answer
to it.
... and his wife Margaretha Luring put down Stadh, Kingdom of
Hannover. Other records indicate she may have been born in
Sollingen.
The place of orgin of Margaretha should be Stadt, Sulingen parish.
Stadt is (although the name means town in today`s German) a small
village located about three kilometers northwest of Sulingen.
Any news or any new ideas about Heinrich and his orgin?
Best greetings from Bremen, Germany,
