Stade Lower Saxony State Archives

My ancestors came from Bramel near Bremerhaven. Stade apparently is
the archive I would use. The earliest ancestor in the churchbook
has a birth year of ~1726. The birth is not listed in the book.
Therefore I think he was not from Bramel. Can I do a name search
(first and last) of the Stade archives to see where he came from?
I don't think they are digitized yet.

Hi Tom,
     Did you use the churchbook of Bramel itself? Schiffdorf is nearby. You
could try that. The LDS has this:

Kirchenbuch, 1715-1852 Evangelische Kirche Schiffdorf (Kr. Geestemünde)

You could write the archives in Stade:

Hello tom,
For Schiffdorf there is a "Ortsfamilienbuch" (a book containing all families registered in the church records and their members). Just give me your ancestor`s name and I will look him up. Barbara´s suggestion is a try!

Hi Barbara,

I used an LDS microfilm of the Bramel church records. Schiffdorf is a
good idea. I'll have to write to Stade Archives.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Juergen,

A relative sent me page 5 from SCHIFFDORFER FAMILIENBUCH. (Is this
different from your book?) It says "Allers, Allerss, Allersen, und
Mattheissen (friesischer Namenswechsel)". Does this mean Allers is
a Frisian name? Therefore the Allers family started out as Frisians?
What does Mattheissen have to do with Allers? What does Mattheissen
mean? Does this mean Mattheissen is a Frisian name change?
Therefore Allers is a Saxon name?

There's no entry under "Allers, Allerss, Allersen, etc." for Marten
Allers, born ~ 1726, the ancestor I'm looking for.

Is your book different?

Thanks, Tom Allers Baltimore, Maryland, USA
