Brigitte, You asked why I don't know if my ancestor was a Fledderman or a Nedderman. It's because the LDS website had both names so I'm not sure if it was a matter of not being able to read the hand-written record or not. Thanks for your reply. All of the responses I have received in answer to my query as very helpful and I can't wait to utilize everyone's suggestions. Linda Hello Janet and Linda, because of Hannover church records and LDS films: LDS did not film any record of the Hannover churches. But they filemed copies of records of the 19th century that have been deposited in different States Archives. They did not copy these records? in all areas of Hannover. A problem might become that most of the names in Linda's list are quite common, especially Brune, Dreier, and Schmidt. So you should give more details. H?hnerkoch is rather rare and that family should be from the Uchte area. There were at least Carl H?hnerkoch and Marie Sophie Brand n?e H?hnerkoch who emigrated. And why can't you decide whether it is Neddermann or Fleddermann? Good luck! Brigitte
