Hi all, I am new to the list and hope i am on the right one, and that some of the replies will be in English!. I am looking for my husbands family. Info i have so far - My husband was born in Bayreuth, (I believe Bavaria covers this) Germany in 1953, his fathers name is Karl-Heinz HIESCHLER born 5/4/1926 in Oppeln Germany, his father was August HIESCHLER (wholesale grocery supplier). Karl-Heinz lived at 7 Casselmann Strasse, Bayreuth. How can i find out the info i need to order birth, marriage and death records. Any advise appreciated. After doing my English side (practically everythings on-line) this is proving rather difficult. Thank you Karen Adelaide Australia

Hi Karen from down-under, Your husband should send a request to the Standesamt (civil registry office) in Bayreuth. They keep the birth/death/marriage records there, but will only release them to the individual named (your husband) or direct descendants (son, grandson, etc,), not to the spouse. Bayreuth County : | | +---- Bayreuth {BT} (kreisfrei/independent) RegBez : | +------- Oberfranken Land : +--------- Bayern ZIP : 95444-95448 Popul : 71527 Locat : 49d57m N 11d35m E Bayreuth has a (German) website at http://www.meinestadt.de/bayreuth/home or http://www.bayreuth.bayern-online.de/. If you need help with translation, go to http://world.altavista.com/ . If you don't find a street address for the Standesamt, you could write to Standesamt Bayreuth 95444-95448 Bayreuth Germany Norm ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Simson To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 1:10 AM Subject: [BAVARIA] HIESCHLER Hi all, I am new to the list and hope i am on the right one, and that some of the replies will be in English!.
