Jeannie, you've left out a letter!The town -- it is a town, of course; there would never be a state with that kind of a name! -- is THEDINGHAUSEN.You left out the "g".Thedinghausen was located in what was until 1945 the very small German state of BRUNSWICK (in German: Braunschweig), which we've talked about before.
There is just one problem here:
Your other sources all seem to indicate that the Fadler family was from the neighboring STATE (not province!) of HANOVER, not from the state of Brunswick.So we'll have to put it this way:If you're sure they were from Thedinghausen, then you're mistaken about their having been from the state of Hanover.On the other hand, if you're sure they were from the state of Hanover, then you're mistaken about their having been from Thedinghausen, because Thedinghausen was in the state of Brunswick.
