I'm dealing with a parish called Gross Berkel sometimes a village/town of Dehmke, sometimes a parish called Hemeringen which I take to also be within the Amt of Hameln? which would then be "in" Hannover? I can give more...but lets start with these if you can help? Thanks again for your time, Stacey
