I have just found a record (will probate) that indicates relatives were living in Georgsmarienhütte, Germany in 1913. Heinrich Tittgemeier and his sister Marie Klages were listed in this will as living there and another sister, Elizabeth Sedat was living in Hanover. Their mother's maiden name was Nolkemper, and their grandparents were Frederick William Nolkemper and Margaret Rosbach. I do not have the first name of their mother, however I believe she was the only child of William and Margaret that remained in Germany. The rest of the family immigrated to NY in 1859. I was wondering how to find out which church to contact in regards to finding out where exactly the family immigrated from. On Dorothea Nolkemper Kuttner's(it was her will) marriage record, she lists birthplace as Melle. They were Protestant. How do I proceed from here? I've never researched in Germany before. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks. Diane

Hi Diane, I went on the old familysearch.org site and did a parent search. I did come with a result: Maria Nolkemper Female Events: Birth 10 Nov 1845 Neuenkirchen, Hanover, Hanover, Preussen Parents: Father: Wilhelm Nolkemper Mother: Margarethe Rosbach Marriages: Spouse: Christ. Rudolph Erdman Marriage: 07 OCT 1866 Manhatten, New York, New York Batch No: M005678 The spouse Christ. Rudolph Erdman: Birth: 02 Jul 1841 in Gotlingen (don't know if that is spelled correctly), Hanover, Hanover, Preussen Father: Daniel Erdman Mother: Augusta Lutze Gotlingen is not correct, but I found Göttingen. I will help you some more over the weekend. Hope this helped a little. I also send out another e-mail about Mell that way you make yourself familiar with the area.
