My Grandfather, Gustav Frederich Wilhelm Hammer, was born in Greiffenberg
(now Gryfow Slaski Poland) on September 6, 1864, and was baptized in that
city in 1865. His parents were Paul and Amelia, he had two sisters, Paula and
Josefina.
Sometime between 1864 and 1900 the family named changed, it is unknown for
what reason. On his mothers 1900 death notice her names is listed as:
Amalie Hammer von Hammerstein geb. Schober
Eifenbahn-Unternehmers-Wittive
The FHC doesn't have complete records for the period which I am interested
in. I am trying to locate church records for Greiffenberg for the period of
1855-1870.
Any information that you have on how to locate these missing records would be
greatly appreciated.
