Dear Werner, Thanks for the interest, I appreciate it very much.
I have a copy of Meta's birth certificate, from what I can decipher the top of the certificate has "Grokherzogth m Oldenburg", next line reads "Huszug aus dem Skirchenbuche", next comes
"evangel = Luther s(?)irchengemeind HUDE." Following line is "Serzogthum, Oldenburg", then Uerzeichnif(?)s der Gebornrn und Getauften, 1860 page 134 No. 70.
Under "Namen der G(?)ebattern are Johann Haverkamp, Ahlke Margarete Oslerloh and Ahlke Margarete Galdas.
2) I also have a copy of a marriage certificate of Meta Margareta Galdas to Adolf Braun married November 14, 1887. Church seal on the document looks like St. Lamberti Kirc(?)me, Oldensburg.
3) Last document is my grandfather's birth certificate which reads:
October 8, 1888, Ludwig Bernnard Nicolaus Braun, parents Adolf Braun and Meta Margareta Galdas. Namen der Gebatten "unknown" Galdas, Berend Galdas and Beta Galdas. Church seal is also St. Lamberti.
