Hello- I am searching for information on my great grandfather Frederich Wilhelm
Sanewski who I believe came from the area around Marienwerder (Kwydzin, Poland)
based on LDS baptismal files and Ancestry.com records for other Sanewskis.  The
earliest information I have is that he left Bremen in 1887 on ship for USA. Any
suggestions as to other resources to use in my search?
Thanks

A Heimatsortskartei was set up in post WW2 Germany for the purpose of

WW2. Finding loved ones and discovering their fate was essential. The
Heimatortskartei provided hope and was the resource. Although these files may

Subject: how to find a birth certificate

karenakolling

Hi,

I've just started to really work on my German ancestry, and I wonder if anyone
can give me a clue about how to locate a birth certificate for my grandfather's
brother, John Kilguss.

Here is a link to his passport (only the right side page is his).  Would you
guess the town he was born in?  We have puzzled over the handwriting and come up
with several candidates.

I know he was born in March 26, 1872, but think he may have been adopted by my
great grandparents, so I am not sure what parents' names would show on his birth
certificate.

Once I know the town name, is there some place a list of addresses for towns to
write to for birth records?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I've just started to really work on my German ancestry, and I wonder if
anyone can give me a clue about how to locate a birth certificate for my
grandfather's brother, John Kilguss.

Here is a link to his passport (only the right side page is his). Would
you guess the town he was born in? We have puzzled over the handwriting
and come up with several candidates.

I know he was born in March 26, 1872, but think he may have been adopted
by my great grandparents, so I am not sure what parents' names would
show on his birth certificate.

Once I know the town name, is there some place a list of addresses for
towns to write to for birth records?

Thanks a lot.

Looks like Mecklenburg to me.
