Laura, I did not come across the names Tacke and Kumheln during my search for Severin. I did not find any information from the LDS films regarding church records for Holzminden Germany. I then posted messages on several mailing lists asking about Holzminden. I received an answer from a Reinhard Freytag in Germany who had done research in Holzminden on his family. During his search he had come across the name Severin many times. He told me to write to a retired church secretary in Holzminden and ask about church records. I did and she provided records for Severin back to 1695 for a fee. This all happened about 2 years ago. At that time she was 73 years old. She also told me that she had done some research for a Monegold family in Hartford WI. ( a Monegold and Severin married ). I called and the wife told me yes she did research for their family and that they had taken a trip to Holzminden and Irmgard was their guide. But that all occurred many years ago. As a suggestion I would e-mail Reinhard J. Freytag at [email protected] and ask if he has come across the names Tacke and Kumheln. If you decide to write to Irmgard let me know and I will give you her address. The letter has to be in German but that is no problem as there is a website that has real people that will translate ENG>GER and GER>ENG at no cost.
