During the 1990's Dr. Edwin Friedrich and I volunteered our time in transcribing and indexing various Schaumburg/Schaumburg-Lippe church records for the Immigrant Genealogical Society of Burbank, CA. Over the years we have been fortunate to acquire from different sources more church records adding to these collections of transcriptions.

For detailed questions about families from St. Martin Church, Hohnhorst, Kreis Schaumburg, Germany church records, the following organizations can be contacted. Please note that our data posted at the FEEFHS website was created in 1997 and there has been many changes and updates in the transcription indexes since then (including my email address).

Full information from microfilm of the original church record of this parish and others (birth, confirmation, marriage and death) can be made available by the I.G.S. for a reasonable fee.

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe.
