Osterode Harz is in Prussia and I see on this familysearch webpage:-

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Prussia,_West_Prussia,_and_East_Prussia_Online_Genealogy_Records

it states the genealogy website "my heritage" has a database of some online west Prussian church books.

I see there are over 400 results for the Kessler surname.

How is it that you know her date and place of birth but not her first name? 

Do you have your grandmother's birth certificate which may(?) give her mother's full name?

Presumably Kessler her maiden rather than married surname? (just checking ...)

There are a more places called Osterode, but the Harz is a medium mountain range in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen).

I think you misunderstood my posting. If your Great grandmother was born in Osterode Harz (Niedersachsen) there is no use looking for her in Osterode Ostpreussen.

I know Osterode is in Neidersachsen but I do recall that back in the time of Bismark and conflict the USA was quick to acknowlege that immigrants to their country were from "Prussia" and I'm assuming that as familysearch is in the USA it is using old fashioned historical terms.

There's a portal here for more research:-
