   Hi Carole:
   If you don't know the location of the town you are looking for, a blind
   search for records may not be productive, even if you are in Hannover.
   Another thing is spelling.  First, are you pronouncing the first "e" in
    Wedem as a long "e"?  If so it is probably spelled Wiedem.  The Wolpe
   is probably Wölpe with the umlaut.
   The only reference to Wölpe, which I find is just northeast of
   Nienburg.  A street named Celler seems to run continiously through both
   towns.  Actually they are part of the same metropolition area.  That is
   if the Wölpe I am looking at is a town and not a stream or a park,
   etc.  Someone else on this List can confirm or disprove it.

   If Wölpe is a town, would then want to check with the LDS/Family
   History Center. as they have lots of information on Nienburg.

   I should probably start looking at these films myself, as my GF was
   from Anderten about 8 miles northeast of there.  I never really thought
   about Nienburg as a source of information as Anderten was an Amt of
   Hoya.  I, like Max would be interested in your genealogy search
   adventures in Germany.

     Ha anyone run across a reference to an old German town called Wedem
     Amt
     Wolpe. I have records from a church in Bensenville Illinois that
     this is
     where 2 of my ancestors were born.
     Thanks,
