Hi Peggy:
Unfortunately, Forde seems to be a common name that is linked to many towns,
e.g., Flensburger Forde & Ecker Forde, Germany both of which are in
northwest Germany. Couldn't find exactly what it means but am sure someone
on our list can explain. Good huntingGary Stoltman

Hello Gary, hello Peggy,
Flensburger Foerde and Eckernfoerde (both with Umlaut): Foerde means a bay or creek. Its the same word like Fjord in Norwegian. Flensburger Foerde is no town, the town there is Flensburg. Eckernförde is a town. But both are not in Hannover but in Schleswig-Holstein.
