In a US census record, instead of birthplace listed as
Hanover,
it says WITTINGEN. I thought this might have been a
misspelling of
Wurttemburg, but now I think it was a correct entry.Is this city far from Hannover and how would I find
out church birth records for
Fridericke Möll or Moell born 3 Sept. 1827.Danke,

Hi J.Ames,
you might also write to the local parish in Wittingen. I found the following adresses:
- Lutheran: Stephanus-Gemeinde, Junkerstr. 22, 29378 Wittingen, Tel. 05831 8451
- Catholic: Pfarramt Wittingen, Schützenstr.5, 29378 Wittingen, Tel. 05831 7500
A copy of one single entry with a known birth date should be available by reasonable costs.
The communication should be led in German, perhaps in English with added transalations by an
translation program. A good idea is always to look for an online-connection, email-addess or
similar by: www.townname.de. For townname you have to insert in this case Wittingen. Most
websites of towns are constructed by this principle. Once on the site, you should look for
the key-word: Kirchen.
Good luck
