Title: Applying for a 1930 German Birth Certificate
Post by: Steve Mc on Saturday 30 November 24 12:16 GMT (UK)
Hi,  could some kind soul direct me to where I could apply for a German Birth Certificate (1930) in the area of Toerwe, Uelzen, Lower Saxony, Germany. I live in Australia.

Regards & thanks in advance

Törwe comes under Gemeinde Stoetze

Standesamt is at Rosche

Thank you for that. Do they have an English language site or is it enough just to provide them with  the full name, DoB & place of birth on an application form?

Website is in German, but you can get the computer to translate.

I would email them in German ( use Online translation if necessary) to ask what documents they require from you. German privacy laws are strict, so you will need to be a direct descendant.

Here is a guide to writing to Germany

Occasionally, I have need to write to the Netherlands.
Using Google Translate, and my not-so-great Dutch, I normally write my correspondence first in Dutch and then repeated in English. So, the best of both worlds! ;)

Hi Dave,

Thanks very much for your interest in this topic, I posted this query for a friend who is trying to get details of his deceased father’s birth. The family know very little of his German background.  What is the best way for me to forward this information to you?

Regards & thanks
