I will write in English since my German in writing is poor (I make too many
mistakes) but I can read German without any problem.
In my search for anchestors I found:
Gerrit Coert Steffenhagen born 1715 in OVERSTETTE in Hannover area. I can't
find it anywhere, does it excist? Or maybe the Dutch wrote it wrong and
should the last part be STADTE in stead of Stette.

Here is what I have found. Remember there may well be others, even many others.
I think you are right
OVERSTETTE = OVERSTEDTE
It is located south of Uelzen, just north of the town of Bodenteich on L270 Which could have been renumbered.
The parish for Overstedte was probly Bodenteich. The LDS/Mormons/Family History Center has the following:
Kirchenbuch, 1604-1963 Evangelische Kirche Bodenteich (Kr. �lzen)
The general directions are east northeast of Hanover or
east southeast of Bremen

Hello Esther,
I thik that's the right one. There is no other in Hannover and only one similar in Westfalen.
The right spelling is Overstedt (without e at the end. The church-books of Bodenteich do not begin beforwe 1679 and are as microfiches at the Kirchenbuchamt Hannover: www.kirche-hannover.de/kirchenbuchamt/
Ich glaube auch das das dorf es ist. Woher kan ich dan suchen um Gerrit Kurt
Steffenhagen zu finden?? Ich habe niemals in Deutschland gesucht.
Vielen dank und alles gute,

Hallo Esther,
die Kirchenbücher der Landeskirche Hannovers liegen als Microfiches im Kirchenbuchamt Hannover. Von dort kannst Du gegen Gebühr eine Kopie aus dem Kirchenbuch von Bodenteich bekommen.
