GERMANY

Births & Baptisms: 1558-1898

Deaths & Burials: 1582-1958

Marriages: 1558-1929

Some Church records: 1794-1874

plus a few other countries

worth a try

Hi Pam,

Not having much luck finding this family as you messaged. I notice that most Daus are from Prussia not Hamburg.

try this site

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home

You might find something in there.

Yesterday I learnt that in Germany for quite a few generations back everyone was and is issued with a book that records their every detail throughout their life such as christening, marriage and death. If this book is lost, destroyed, as in World War II, the history of that person is lost forever. My friend lost her gg grandparents, grandparents books during the bombing in Germany and only has knowledge of what has been handed down through word of mouth.

thank you Gael for having a look for me - I have had a quick look at the thread you sent me and will explore it more fully over theweek end.

Thanks again,
