About:
The Niedersächsische Landesverein für Familienkunde e.V. – Lower Saxony Society of Family History – a registered non-profit society, was founded in 1913. Currently the society has some 600 members in Germany and abroad.
We offer our members a variety of support in researching their ancestors, focused primarily but not exclusively on the federal state of Lower Saxony. Genealogists having roots in neighboring regions are welcome to join us.

The society’s head office is located in the center of the city of Hanover. You are invited to visit our extensive library consisting of more than 10,000 books, other important sources and WiFi access. During opening hours you can meet with specialists who are able to help you on the spot.
