Schwarme & Martfeld

I am researching my family from the Schwarme and Martfeld area.

Here is what I know:

ANNA KATHERINE BRINKMAN b. Oct 26, 1862 in Schwarme. Parents - Johann Brinkman and Margaret Unknown. Married in 1884 to Johann Bremer.

JOHANN RENNIG DIETRICH BREMER born July 8, 1859 in Martfeld. Parents - Johann Heinrich Rennig Bremer and Sophie Henriette Rehorst (b. January 3, 1824), They moved to Schwarme after a fire destroyed most of the town of Martfeld.

I would love to go back as far as possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can start digging.

Thank you, Teri Hanson

Hi Terri:

Try these URL's:

This information has been placed on the First site above
by a professional genealogist. It includes information on
the 1852 census for the Kingdom of Hanover. The areas you
are interested in have been completed. There are both
Bremer,s and Brinkman(n)'s listed for Achim, Hoya,
Martfield and I believe Schwarme.

The second URL above indicates the availability of church
records for those areas.
  Have fun:
