Need help finding record

G Haux

I have this Johan Jacob Schultz, age 37, in Sweden. He is shown as being born in Zelle i Hannov. land. I was told that this might be Celle in Germany but I haven't been able to figure out where I would find these record. Can you please help me find this?

He is shown on the left hand side, 2nd group, next to last entry

Some Catholic records are available from Matricula - https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/hildesheim/celle-st-ludwig/

The challenge is that although your Swedish record refers to Zelle/Celle, it's unclear whether this refers to the Kreis (like a county) or the city of that name. So you may have to poke around in all the little towns in the Kreis before you find your Schultze.

Here is a link for Celle in Meyers Gazetteer. If you click on the Related tab, you can find a list of the towns in the Kreis. https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10290004

You could also try the city archive for Celle - https://www.celle.de/Kultur/Stadtarchiv

or the Kreisarchiv - https://www.landkreis-celle.de/B%C3%BCrgerservice/Archivgut-Einsicht-gew%C3%A4hren.php?object=tx,3314.2.1&ModID=10&FID=3314.10.1&NavID=3314.2&La=1&kat=1%2C&kuo=1&ort=3314.1
