Latest Update: 20 Sep 2006
The Immigrant Genealogical Society has acquired volumes of
astracts of all existing marriages from West Prignitz
churchbooks up to 1704 and Callenburg churchbooks up to 1750.
If you can give the surname of both the bride and groom,
we can cross-check to see whether they occur on the same
page. Marriage abstracts usually mirror the marriage record in
naming parents, occupation, residence, parish and age.
West Prignitz Marriage Abstracts
West Prignitz lies along the Elbe River where borders of the
present states of Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Brandenburg and
Mecklenburg intersect. Our volunteers can count how many
marriages of one surname took place in the area surrounding each
of the large towns, or can search a particular parish / town
that you might wish to specify.
West Prignitz marriages center around these sizeable towns:
___ Havelberg
___ Lenzen
___ Perleberg
___ Putlitz
___ Wilsnack
Calenberger Marriage Abstracts
Calenburg was a political entity in earlier times that
included the city of Hannover and considerable surrounding area
to the west and south. These marriage abstracts are from the
churchbooks of the parishes in that area. The first set includes
all records up to 1700. They are arranged by the areas around
these major towns:

Calenberg Marriage Abstracts 1701-1750
This second series is not yet complete. However, the parishes in
the area of these sizeable towns are already abstracted and
indexed and we can search them for you.
___ Hannover Old City
___ Hannover Suburbs
___ Hannover New City
___ Hannover Garrison
___ Langenhagen / Wunstorf
___ Loccum / Neustadt
Our volunteers can search any of the three sets of marriage
abstracts listed above, and count how many marriages of one
surname took place in each area. If you give both groom and
bride's surnames, we can cross-check for a specific marriage.
We'll make copies of up to 3 pages for you -- you may designate a
parish.
