Glasmacher Carl Ludwig

[ClausSamuelsen]

Hope English is OK.
Some of my ancestors came from Germany in the early 1830s. From Danish church books and census I have detailed information from time of immigration and forward, but earlier information is quite sparse. So looking for help on how to go on digging in German archives.

Here are some facts:
Glasmacher Carl Friedrich Philip Ludwig, born ~1791 in Hanover
married to Anna Marie Müller or Müllerinn, born ~1796 in Hanover

I don't have information on when and where they were married.
The most precise data is from their son's confirmation in Denmark:
Friederich August Wilhelm Leonard Ludwig, born 12 May 1830 in Glass factory Sengenthal, Brakel, Hanover

The family moved quite a lot. Their first child Johanne was born ~1819 in Braunschweig (Niedersachsen ?), then a son Carl Robert born 2 Feb 1824 in Reval (todays Tallinn, Estonia) and then Friedrich in Brakel. In Denmark (Fensmark) they got two more sons. All sons became glass makers.

There's a Brakel in Nordrhein-Westphalen, but maybe Brakel was part of Hanover in 1830 ?

I searched in Archion.de, but couldn't find a church book covering Brakel 1830.

Best regards
Claus

Hallo Claus,
ich schaue morgen mal nach ob ich bei Heritage was finde.
Bei Wikipedia steht folgendes:

Kreis Brakel

Zur Navigation springenZur Suche springen

Bestandszeitraum:	1816–1831
Staat:	Preußen
Provinz:	Westfalen
Regierungsbezirk:	Minden
Sitz der Verwaltung:	Brakel
Fläche:	397 km²
Einwohner:	22.197
Bevölkerungsdichte:	56 Einwohner je km²

Der Kreis Brakel war ein preußischer Kreis in Ostwestfalen, der von 1816 bis 1831 im Regierungsbezirk Minden bestand. Verwaltungssitz war Brakel. Er wurde zum 1. Januar 1832 dem Kreis Höxter angegliedert. Zuvor bestand bereits von 1803 bis 1807 der ähnlich abgegrenzte Oberwaldische Kreis im preußischen gewordenen Fürstentum Paderborn.


Leider ist mein englisch furchtbar :-(

Hello Claus,
I forgot to mention that the family was probably catholic and therefore
no finds are to be expected at Archion. Matricula is the source for further
research. Please note that 2 different parishes are listed there.

Thank you very much both to Gabi and to Ed
I was a bit surprised to learn that the church in Brakel is catholic. In Denmark all registrations (births, marriages and burials) of the Ludwig family has been in evangelish churches.
It was really good to learn that the data I had of Friedrich Ludwig being born 12 May 1830 is correct.
