Thanks Gale,
Twice I have written emails to the Hanover 1852 Census website asking how to order their books. Neither time I received a response. Do you suppose they do not read English?

Hi Teri:
Try this e-mail address: hrs@hist.de
Jens M�ller-Koppe is the owner of the site. I ordered a half dozen copies of Amt Hoya part 3. I used my Master card. At that time he did not have a secure site, so I sent him two different e-mails with "telephone numbers" and a "birth date". Your credit card companies will normally give you a good rate of exchange and Jens will get his money in Euros.
When I ordered Amt Hoya part 3, it cost $14 U.S. That would be just short of $20 at the current rate of exchange.
He has all of Amt (sort of a district) Martfeld translated and interpreted. Part 7 is for the town of Martfeld and was listed at $14 at the time I ordered.
If you send him the names of the towns and people, he will tell which parts of the census you need and will probably confirm the existence of your ancestors before you order.
He did for me. In over 50 years of searching, the 1852 census was the only lead I had to my grandfather and his family. It turned out that my GF had cousins that also immigrated to the U.S. In fact I met a "new cousin" who grew up less than 30 miles from where I grew up.
