Hi Bob and Sandy
What a lucky day for Sandy !!!!!! Yes its difficult to read, but its
absolutely correct what you have reading in the Hamburg Ship List.
And the profession is correct FLEISCHER or is BUTCHER. Today we would say
METZGER instead of FLEISCHER but it remains the same.

This is the link to Kalefeld on the google map you see Dögerode close by.
Hey Sandy your family was living 15 km away were my old Hattorff family lived in
Osterode.
The microfiches of the churchbooks of that region are in Hannover (city).
Two possibilities you find someone who is doing this research for you in the
group or you will unfortunately need a professional researcher. A professional
researcher will take about 35 Euro an hour.
Congratulation your are close to your target.

Sandy,
I've looked through the LDS Catalog and I don't find Dögerode or Kalefeld, actually only a few records for any of the towns in that area appear to have been microfilmed. If that is the case you'll need to find somone who can look at the microfiche as Armin suggests or else contact the church directly. I've had pretty good luck contacting churches in Germany and getting responses. Just don't ask for too much, be specific in what you want, and be patient. Responses some times can take awhile. If you don't speak German you will find several spots online that give form letters already in German where you just add the specifics relevant to the person you are researching. Don't hesistate to email me directly if you need any help with this.
