  • Guide to Hanover Military Records, 1514–1866, on Microfilm at the Family History Library

    A book by Teresa S. McMillin. Military records, 1514–1866, for the former Kingdom of Hanover and its predecessor areas are a detailed body of records. While the originals sit in an archive in Germany, microfilmed images are available to researchers through the Family History Library (FHL), family history centers, and affiliates around the world. Hanover’s military records are largely untapped by many researchers because until now, English-language finding aids were non-existent. Existing guides contained no cross-reference to the FHL microfilm numbers.
