Looking for the parents of my Great Grandfather, Christian Wilhelm Warnecke, born 8 Feb. 1832, Hanover. He came to America in 1850's and was a member of Salem Ev. Lutheran Church in Black Jack, St. Louis Co., MO. If you could give me the names of his parents or the Chnurch he attended, maybe I could order records from FHL (Mormans) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was he from the Kingdom of Hanover, the huge city of Hannover, or the
smaller town just northwest of Bremen? If you have that info it makes
searching the church archives easier. Did the Lutheran church in Black Jack
keep records of their German members?

In the Netherlands is a city called LEIDEN.
Two famous names are still in this city.
One is the family WARNECKE and the other is BUSH(Yes Presidents Fathers
Family is from LEIDEN)Formely written:LEYDEN.

Hello Vertrees Hood,
Just to illustrate, not to demoralize you, how difficult it will be to find the
right person without further given details of place let me tell you this. I
looked into the telephone-book for Hannover 1995 and found about 150 WARNECKE and
additional 30 WARNEKE, that is only for the town. If you go through the parish-
book of the town Hannover you might be lucky by the birth-date. These will most
probably be stored at least in copy in the "Nieders�chsische Staatsarchive". But
if it is meant the former Kingdom of Hannover, that means thousands of possible
places and an increase of possible families WARNE(C)KE by the factor 16, because
town Hannover has about 500.000 people, Lower-Saxony about 8 million, will make
about 3000 WARNE(C)KE with telephone in the region of former Kingdom of Hannover.
As one has to start anywhere, to find at last, I give you the one marriage
WARNECKE, I noticed up to yet, taken from an former family-researcher named
Borstelmann:
"- Warnecke, Joh.Friedr., Kr�ger und Branntweinbrenner in Neetze, S.d. Warnecke,
Hh. in Harmstorf, 1808 in Neetze oo Dor.gen Wendel, Wwe. des Hh.Warnecke."
translation:
Warnecke, Joh. Friedr., innkeeper and distiller in Neetze, son of Warnecke,
farmer with a "Halbhof" in Harmstorf, married 1808 in Neetze Dor. named Wendel,
widow of a farmer Warnecke, also with an "Halbhof".
"Hh." = "Halbhof" means the farm was of aproximately middle bigness in its region
Sincerely Hans Peter Albers
perhaps this database would be of some help.....
