Greetings! I find myself in a bit of a research pickle and hope that you more experienced researchers can help. I am looking for documents to support the existence of my great grandparents were from Koenigsberg. All I have are their names, no birthdates, no former addresses, nothing. I tried to get a copy of my grandmother's birth certificate in the hopes that such information would be written on it, but the Standesamt I in Berlin said they don't have her birth certificate. I also contact the Kirchlicher Suchdienst in Stuttgart and they have no records for my family as neither does the LKVA. Great Grandfather: Gustav Nissen, mechanic - guessing he was born around 1895 - 1900 Great Grandmother: Frieda Nissen born Podschu[c]k. This information came from a Meldekarte (Registration card) for my grandmother from when she lived in Nuernberg. Thank you for any assistance.

Hi there: We have friends from Denmark whose surname is Nissen - could your ancestors perhaps have come from there?
