This category is set up in order to maintain a list of my German Special Inventory of emigrants. Emigrants Special Inventory *** Emigrants Special Inventory, NLA HA SF Emigrants (history and description page) https://www.arcinsys.niedersachsen.de/arcinsys/detailAction.action?detailid=b2601 *** This will be a list containing information coming from the Niedersachsen Lower Saxony Archives (NLA) of Lower Saxony, northern Germany, also for the time period referenced then called the Kingdom of Hanover. This includes some profiles/emigrants from the previous Electorate of Hanover from 1692-1814 *** Königreich Hannover
1814–1866 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Hanover ***
- The Kingdom of Hanover (German: Königreich Hannover) was established in October 1814 by the Congress of Vienna, with the restoration of George III to his Hanoverian territories after the Napoleonic era. It succeeded the former Electorate of Hanover (known formally as the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg), and joined 38 other sovereign states in the German Confederation in June 1815. The kingdom was ruled by the House of Hanover, a cadet branch of the House of Welf, in personal union with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland since 1714. Since its monarch resided in London, a viceroy, usually a younger member of the British Royal Family, handled the administration of the Kingdom of Hanover.
- The personal union with the United Kingdom ended in 1837 upon the accession of Queen Victoria because semi-Salic law prevented females from inheriting the Hanoverian throne while a dynastic male was still alive. Her uncle Ernest Augustus thus became the ruler of Hanover. His only son succeeded him to the throne as George V. However, as he backed the losing side in the Austro-Prussian War, his kingdom was conquered by Prussia in 1866 and ceased to exist as an independent kingdom, becoming a Prussian province. Along with the rest of Prussia, Hanover became part of the German Empire upon the unification of Germany in January 1871. Briefly revived as the State of Hanover in 1946, the state was later merged with some smaller states to form the current state of Lower Saxony (officially Niedersachsen) in then West Germany.
