In October 1943 a heavy bombing destroyed the Landeskirchenamt (church archive). Two thirds of the archival materials burnt, one third of all documents had been evacuated at this point and was saved. According to common consent all materials of interest for research were destroyed, therefore, hesitation to give&nbsp;archival records to a centralized location abounded. Records remained on site for the time being. Only in 1957 with the establishment of the new Archive in Rote Reihe in Hanover (address) the last items from the evacuated documents were returned. Great emphasis was put on organizing the archival materials from the parishes.

Today the Landeskirchliche Archiv continues to receive documents from parishes. The reason for this is the closure of churches due to the drop in church membership. The homes of parish priests have to be disposed of and the archival materials safely guarded. Thus, the Landeskirchenarchiv becomes the record keeper. Before research is pursued, the family historian is well advised to check what is available at the archive. Compare also the listings of filmed churchbooks at

The inventory of the Niedersächsische Staatsarchive (Lower Saxony State Archives) can be found [http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/default.htm online] at&nbsp; Clicking on “Online-Recherche”, then on “AIDA-online”, choosing “über Archive und Beständegruppen” one can select any archival name. When selecting an archive, “Dokumente” and “Akten” are the next choices. Dokumente (documents) deal mainly with official documents bearing seals, while “Akten” (folders) are concentrating on documents having to do with all kinds of administrative activities. Concentrating on “Allgemeine und gebündelte Verwaltung”, “Polizei und Justiz” as well as “Kirchen und Schulen” most likely contain information pertinent to the family historian.

Under ''Allgemeine und gebündelte Verwaltung'' one can find the documents of each Amt (administrative jurisdiction). Each Amt in the former territories of Hanover was responsible to look after the affairs of state as well as deal with the poor and needy.

Choosing an Amt from the drop-down list gives the researcher another list. “Gliederung” classifies all subjects with which the Amt was concerned. If one wants to know what exactly the archive houses in regards to “Armensachen” (matters of the poor), a click on the classification number would hi-light a text explaining the content. If one was to take a look at the document, the order number is given as well as the signatur. Knowing these facts about a document makes it easier for the archival staff to retrieve it when visiting the facility. If the item is not what was wanted, a glance further down the list will provide more clues of what the archive can provide re. Armensachen.
