Aurich Civil Registration

I am trying to locate a marriage record for Frederick SIEBOLDS AND his
wife Ida Georgs

which I understand took place in Aurich around 1850....I have checked
all the church

records available and did not find anything....It was most likely a civil
marriage. Our

civil registration is only for 1811 to 1812 and again from 1863 to
1875......Frederick and

family emigrated to U.S.A. IN 1868 and in 1870 census lists himself and
family as from

Hanover.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

Good morning, all you friendly and helpful Listers!

I'm pouring through the LDS microfilms of the Engerhafe parish records, and finding
relatives I've been looking for.

But I have trouble reading the script. I would like some help transcribing and translating
what I find.

So I would like to send someone, privately, digital photos of a few entries from 1844 and
earlier. If you can help, then I will be able to decipher the records with more confidence.

Thanks a great deal!

Hi Joe:

I looked at Castle Garden and noted that there were 5 children in the family, born between 1856 and 1868. Have you tried to research them and go back to Fred and Ida?
I would bet they were married 1854 or 1856.

I only know of one Aurich in Ostfriesland, but that does not mean there are not more.

Have you tried the Family History Library? It has Aurich listed and Aurich-Oldendorf listed. They are both in Hannover, and there appears to be substantial material covering the periods you are interested in.

Hi Larry:

I am no expert on handwriting, but I have found the following helpful:

"If I Can You Can Decipher Germanic Records" by Edna M. Bentz. ISBN 0-9615420-O-4

It has about a dozen variations of script for each upper case letter and a half dozen for lower case script.

Gothic alphabet done the same way.

A discussion on the use of Umlaut's

A script list of relationships between people.

Genealogical terminology and symbols.

Calendar names-months days and symbols for days of the week.

Latin-English-German Script-Danish terms

Glossary of Illnesses Found in German Church Records (Script)

Occupations and Titles German(Script)-English-Latin-Danish

It is spiral bound and 87 pages. I have seen it in almost all of the genealogical libraries I have been to.
