I have a great-grandfather, Friedrich Heinrich Carl Mohlmann (umlaut o), born in Holzminden in 6 Nov 1827. He was Lutheran. Came to America in 1848. Died in 1919 in Ohio. I have received information from the jurisdiction that gives me this informtion from a local newspaper. I have had some communication with the Lutherkirche in Holzminden. They say that I should be patient as they are very busy. They say that the church records are the ONLY record. Archion does not have Holzminden records online nor does Family Search. I have not gotten any information since asking in October. Should I hire someone to go there and do the research? Carole Mehlmann Kyser
