Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Am trying in vain to find my great-grandparents' marriage certificate, but it isn't in the Family Record centre. In particular I should like to find my great grandfather's birth certificate. I know the latter must be in Germany, but the only place I know for sure he lived there had no record of him. My grandfather was born in London in 1889, and that's the only positive lead I have. Any suggestions?

	If you give me your Grandparents' names and dates of birth, I will see if I can find anything for you in FreeBMD. I transcribe for them so I have more access to the files. I may not be able to find anything, but we can try. If you have any idea at all about when they got married, let me know and I will see if I can find any reference to a marriage aswell.
