I just received 2 death certs from New York City and one lists the mother with her maiden surname. It was from 1903 and the other lists the city in Germany of the descendants birthplace and it was from 1869. Both writers have German style handwriting and I can't understand the surname and the name of the city. Anyone able to receive a scanned copy of one or both by e-mail and try to see if they can make out the surname or the city? Gail Jorgensen California
