Germany and German Ancestry

Serena, what other info do you have on Hans that would narrow down the time frame?  Are we talking 20th century or something earlier?  Did you find him a US census?  Any one of them would give you an age from which you can approximate a birth year.  Was he always living in the same town in all the censuses you have available--if so, that would probably be a good starting point for a death certificate.  If he never lived in the US, did his children?  Then, figure he was 20 or so years older than his youngest child.

I am trying to find Hans Christoph Carstens born in Ebstorf, Germany. I have no date of birth or death.

Oops!  That should say the evangelische records for Venne.

For Wayne Vallowe--LDS has the evangelische (protestant) records for 1808-1871 on microfilm.  You can rent it and view it at a family history center.

Have you seen this book?  http://venne-in-america.de/

For some reason the link to the catalog didn't stick.  Here it is again.

I found Evangelical (protestant) church records for 1836-1857 for Konigshutte/Chorzow at Family Search Catalog.  This is a microfilm you can rent and have sent to a Family History Center near you.
