Ich erhielt in der Post heute 2 Todesregister. (1878
und 1889) Ich kann nicht sie gut lesen, weil ich noch
Deutsches erlerne. Ich sehe nicht nichts, das
Verbindung oder Kinder erw�hnt. Nicht sollte es mehr
Informationen geben?
Danke,
JJ
I got 2 death registers in the mail today. from 1878 &
1889 I can not read them well because I am still
learning German. Does the witness of the person who
died usually related? I do not see anything that
mentions marriage or children. Shouldn't there be more
information?
Did you get the civial or the church cert. In Holland in the civial cert.
it would say how old the person was the names of the parents if known, place
of birth and name of mar. partner or wed. of. The person who registered the
death can be related ( but that relationship can be sofar extended that it
will not help till you have much more info)(the second cousins listed at my
greatgrandparents wedding took me 4 years to hunt down how they were
related) but can also be a freind or someone hired to take care of the paper
work. If it is the church cert. it will have much less info.

It was the civil register from the Standesamt of the
town.
I just thought there should be more information on it.

Also keep in mind the age of the deceased can be decieving, with younger
persons( up to 45) it can be 5 years off and by older persons ( about 60) as
much as ten years up or down.. I do not know about Germany but after
Napoleon 1813 on (altough I understand that in Germany it was much later,
and depending on the area) but in Holland they had a civial register, they
run 10 years ( 1813-1822, 1823-32 etc. )where every one at that adress are
written in and constandly changed , like the cenus but upgraded with every
birth, death, moved,or a child who left for work or mar. to a differant
adress or city. It is better then a census which is a record of that one
day per 10 years and what happened in between not added or subtracted. Ask
in the groep if the area where these persons you are looking for had that,
it would be your best shot, they have a index with the person's name and
then they know what adress to look under, of course it could have exited but
destory or lost by fire, flooding or war. if the person was say 60 years
old when he died in the late 1800's look around1860 or 70 when he was about
35 or 40 the best chance that he already had childern and that they had not
left home. Good luck, Anna Marie
