Stagge Hannover

I believe Hanover is the english spelling for Hannover, mostly means the former old Kingdom of Hannover, now Niedersachen (Lower Saxony).

The emigrants book of the former Landkreis Lingen (county), located in the Kingdom of Hannover shows one Stagge, maybe releated to yours:

Stagge Johann Heinrich, born 17.Jun.1845 in Wettrup (parish Lingen), Zimmermann (Carpenter), emigrated 1868, parents: Colon(farmer) Gerhard Wilhelm Stagge and Anna Gesina Buurke.

Thank you Werner....I have always thought that Hanover referred
to the City of Hanover, and that Hannover was the Province (sort of
like the Rhine Province). I had that impression through some of the
Census records, and the way the locations were described....Carol

Hi Werner,

I noticed your reference to the emigrants book of the former Landkreis
Lingen. Were there any STEINKAMP's or LONNEMAN's who emigrated from that
area?

Thanks for your help!
