Dear List members, In my efforts to obtain emigration information regarding my ancestor, I have found a series of LDS/FHL films which deal with the emigration applications, lists, certificates for Erfurt, Sachsen, Prussia. In addition to the films entitled "Auswanderungsgesuche" (requests for emigration) there is another set of films entitled "Heimatscheine" (certificates of citizenship) . Can someone please tell me when a person would be granted a Heimatscheine" (certificate of citizenship). Would this certificate be applied for & granted on the eve of a person's departure/leave or would it be granted at some earlier date. Knowing the answer to this question would help me determine the appropriate "Heimatscheine" film to order from the Mormon Family History Library in Utah. Thank you, Bette
