It should be noted that the province of Niedersachsen was formed after the 2nd World War in 1949. Niedersachsen includes that portion of Hannover of which Ostfriesland was a part. For a time Hannover was a part of Prußen (Prussia) until it was taken away from Prussia by the National Socialists in the early part of their régime. Also, Germany did not become a nation until 1871 when Bismark brought it together. The date of the treaty ending the Franco-Prussian War is used as the start of the German state.
Hannover was ruled by the Kings of England technically from George I until Victoria ascended the throne.
Buried in Canby Cem.
