Search for the word KETELS then click on the "digitised item" link on the right hand side of the page next to his entry.

Hi Karee.bell,

Found the following site which might be of help to you:

http://www.aggsh.de/    In both German and English:

The AGGSH e.V. is an non profit society, in which historians and genealogists have these aims:
- jointly undertake intensive research of emigration from Schleswig-Holstein and to publish the results;
- transcribing the Schleswig-Holstein Census registers of 1769 to 1860 and to make them freely available as data banks;


Might be of help.
