Staatsarchiv Osnabr�ck

Barbara and Fred,

Your discussion of the Staatsarchiv Osnabr�ck prompted me to try again looking for some ancestors. Based upon information I already knew I did some quick searches and it those cases I found the following to be true for my ancestors, so I applied it to the examples you have been discussing.

I think that in the following 2 examples the Frer stands for the Freren parish and Lin stands for the Lingen parish. So although the name of the town, village or hamlet may not be there, you would at least know the parish.

6240 = Bestell-Nr.: Staatsarchiv Osnabr�ck, Rep 350 Frer Nr. 62
Stagge, Johann Heinrich 6240

6241 = Bestell-Nr.: Staatsarchiv Osnabr�ck, Rep 350 Lin Nr. 562
Stagge, Johann Heinrich 6241

Hope I�m not repeating or saying something that you already knew.

Hello Teresa,
     Actually for the Osnabruck archives, we have come to another
conclusion. You take the 2 numbers 6240 and 6241 and go back to the
previous page and go to Gliederung which will give you the list of the
towns. Those two numbers actually appear in Lengerich and not in Freren or
Lingen. The number (corresponding with the towns) start with #1 (for the
first town listed) with the very first number and go to 5 digit numbers at
the end. You can find it by hit and miss, but the numbers do get larger as
you go down the list.
     Of course, Hannover is a little different insofar as some of the names
of towns are included in that coded statement.
    Confusing for sure...

No, the numbers 5977 through 6305 all refer to Kirchspiel Lengerich.
This is from the Gliederung in the Osnabrück archive. This not to say
that Frer and Lin don't mean exactly what you say but these data are
certainly sorted in under their source as from and about Lengerich.
Lingen is 1-454 and was a separate city. Freren was both an Amt
(regional district) and a Kirchspiel within it. It's location numbers
are 5681 to 5976.

I'm in the process of recording the start-end series of file location
numbers as to their location meaning. It is quite a process as they
do not always appear in numerical sequence.
