Auffarth (Aufahrt)

Auffarth

Heinrich Aufforth was from Ganderkesee.

The Ganderkesee records, as filmed by LDS, are some of the worst looking records It have ever seen on microfilm. I looks like the records themselves may be legible but the filming is terrible. There are white spots on many pages making them impossible to read. Other pages are so out of focus that there is nothing to be made out of them. Still others are so overexposed they are useless. I would say that half the pages of the baptisms from 1817 to 1853 are illegible.

In addition the pages are in erratic order.

There were several families of Aufforth in Ganderkesee in the 1818 to 1853 records indicating that the family had been in the area for several generations.

  1. Anna Catherine of (spot) Auffarth and Sophia Hedwig (spot) the next word is very fuzzy, month illegible days 30 and ??, 1820. witnesses; Margrete J (cannot read), cannot read and Hinrich cannot read. Note: Dispite the lack of a visible given name for the father and a visible surname fo the mother, I am asuming with the Aufforth and Sophia Hedwig combination that this is a record for Heinrich Auffarth and Sophia Hedwig Hayan.
