Ruth, You can contact the State Department for a Report of Birth Abroad. If the birth was registered at a German Standesamt you may be able to get a copy from them however Germany has very strict privacy laws.

Any suggestions for how to approach this would be very welcome. The person was born in the 1950s and is now deceased. Thanks! Ruth
