Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Hi Debbie,
Who are you looking for? Searching the Osnabr�ck, Hannover,
Wolfenb�ttel emigration records is done by going to the website:http://app.staatsarchive.niedersachsen.de/findbuch/
It is a little confusing to use, especially if you don't know German. On
the first page:
Choose one of the three locations on the bar & click Abschicken
Go to Index in the middle of the page and click
Fill in the surname you are looking for in the box "Suchbegriff"
Choose Personen where it says nach Ort
Click on Suchen starten and you will get a list of persons who
emigrated
from Germany with that name. Or you may get nothing! Try all the same
search on all 3 locations.
Note the number on the right column. That number will direct you to the
town later. Click on a name that matches a person you are looking for and
you will get a code that will be what you use to order the record.
Finding what area the person comes from is not easy. On the Hannover
site, it names a town right in the code. For Osnabr�ck it is harder. Go
back to the page where you first clicked on Index and this time click on
Gliederung.
There you will see a list of towns and if you click on the numbers on
the left, you will get a list of all the people from that area. The
numbers
start with 1 and go up from there. So if the number is 5 digits it will
be
closer to the bottom of the list. But you have to go to the one that has
the number in it from the right column of the page with the list of names.
When you find the right one, the code will match the code you saw earlier
tied to the name you were looking for. I know this is confusing. I have
explained the process many times on this site and it never is very
clear!
Then, you can order the records from one of the 3 locations. The
addresses are:
Hannover - poststelle@staatsarchiv-h.niedersachsen.de
Osnabr�ck - poststelle@staatsarchiv-os.niedersachsen.de
Wolfenb�ttel - poststelle@staatsarchiv-wf.niedersachsen.deYou have to realize that these emigration records cover only certain
years--and not everybody is listed there. None of my relatives are.
You're
