Can Anyone Identify the Town, Village, or City in this Old German text?

Hi Karen,

The document is a marriage record for Johann's Son Heinrich Friedrich, and yes, I am a descendant of him.

Who did Heinrich marry?

Can you tell us, Stever? It would narrow things down a bit.

Heinrich married Dorothea Cammann as Mr. Oelker's source had indicated.

So it looks as though we are talking about the same people.

Steve emailed me the complete entry.

Starting at the end of line 2, the text reads 'Amts Bißendorf'. The village/hamlet of Meitze was in the district (Amt) of Bissendorf.

Dorothea may have come from Wennebostel (spelt Wennebosterl), which is very close to Bissendorf.

Whoever made this entry in the register used some interesting spellings. Johann Gehrke was a Mühlherr (a mill owner). However, the first 'h' has been omitted.

Thanks for this Justin. Looking at the document again last night I came to the same conclusion regarding the two places you've indicated. I wasn't able to get the "Amts" or "Muhlherr" parts though. Anything else on there you can read would be appreciated. Thanks again for all of your assistance in this.

Steve,

Does your original scan cover much of the marriage entry above the Gehrke-Cammann record?

I'm still trying to determine the exact spelling of Dorothea's place of birth - Wenneboserl - so it would be useful to see more examples of 'st'.

There´s a Wennebostel 1,5 Km north of Bissendorf

Hey Dave and Justin,

I see Wennebostel although I agree that spelling of it is weird. Looks like records for that area 1795-1852 are missing or haven't yet been digitized so I think I'm at a dead end at this point.
