Hessen

A Word of Caution! and FHC at LDS!

A gold mine of information for North Hessen, developed after 13 years of research in church registers, producing 220 villages and towns between the cities of Kassel and Bad Hersfeld, is found at...
www.ahnenforschung-nordhessen.de
The site includes, from west to east, Fritzlar/Homberg/Efze, to the border with Thuringen, presenting baptism, confirmation, marriages, and deaths, before 1830. These old registers have not been categorized, therefore the research is slow and painstaking. However, with the aid of the database developed from these registers, the site owner has cataloged 720,000 entries which he can access instantly.
In more than 20 years of research in the State Archives at Marburg, he has cataloged a large number of personal histories in sources found along with the church registers.
The researcher, Thomas Blumenstein, offers his services at a competitive rate, along with his vast knowledge and instantly accessible database, finding those persons and families who have been missed by other researchers. Bashing your head against your brick wall? See if Thomas can help you to cause it to come tumbling down once you employ his expertise.
