In the records of Nohfelden Oldenburg, there is a record of the Johann Philipp LÄSSIG/LESSIG family that indicates he is from "Goddelsheim im Waldeckischen." The LDS Family History Library catalog only has church records from 1857-1870 for Goddelsheim in Waldeck. However there is an OFB for Goddelsheim by Eckhard Schmidt that indicates there are records from 1646. Where did Herr Eckhard Schmidt get his information? Are the earlier records for Goddelsheim in another village's records? Are the records only in an archive? Is it required to hire a researcher to obtain these records?
