Good evening to all... I recently discovered an ancestor who's origins were Schleswig-Holstein region. In her son's baptism record, Margaretha Loose is listed as having a birthdate of 26 May 1805 in Wewelsfleth. That is all I know of this ancestor. Is there some kind soul with access to records of this town/village/city who might be able to locate her birth record? In her death, she is listed with a religion of: Lutheran. I don't know how far a distance this locale is from the Hamburg area... She lived her final years as first: with Ockershausen, Johann Peter Martin in Hamburg and second: the Hamburg Poorhouse Thank you in advance for any suggestion and/or information!
