Ahoj Ursula,

 

Saw the tree.  Very nice.  Gather that it was your maternal line. Hope mine was viewable.

If your old document copies are digital (eg .jpg, etc), forward some to me, or send to me the URL to pull them up.  Of late, I have been immursed in those old records and am beginning to get comfortable with some of the script and at least the terms necessary to extract the vital data. Although, in advance, no promises. Use my email please, no sense in clogging up this BB.

Ahoj,

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

 

I've just sent you a private message with my email address.  The documents are paper copies.  I'll have to scan them of..but first have to find them.  I've put them somewhere 'safe'!

 

Thank you very much for your kind offer.  It might also help me with learning how to transcribe these types of documents.

 

Bye for now

 

Ursula

Hi Ursula,

here you have to write to the city hall direcly and ask for the birth record of your mother. Records after 1900 are censured in Germany and only the city hall can give you a copie of this record. Here the address you need:                               Standesamt Mettmann
Neanderstr. 85
40822 Mettmann

Germany

Hope this wil help you

Greetings from Bavaria

Marianne
