I will be traveling to Germany in about 3-4 weeks and have found the town from where my Great-grandfather was born. It is Kuhstedt, which is in NIEDERSACHSEN. I found the church website and want to write via e-mail to see if when I come, I can look at and perhaps copy church records. Any suggestions are appreciated, as I read no German and can not understand the website. http://www.kuhstedt-erloeser.de/ Also, Would I be more likely to find records post 18500 at the local church or here? Sprengel (area) Stade Church district Bremervörde-Zeven Bevern, Bremervörde, Elsdorf, Gnarrenburg, Gyhum, Heeslingen, Kirchwistedt, Kuhstedt, Oerel, Oese, Rhade, Selsingen, Sittensen, Zeven I hope that this makes sense as it is confusing to me.
