Family History Beginners Board / Re: No help on Europe forum, can someone help in the UK.

Believe me carinthiangirl, the reply to my request was sent at 0700 german time, quite impressive, as I sent my email at 0300 europe time. That would never happen in the UK or Aus (only on previous enquires from myself). I will scan my passport and see what comes back. I requested quite a lot, but as soon as I get an answer, I will let you know. I sent them my grandmothers Birth Cert. and asked if they could shed some light on the religon.
Still, so impressed about the speed of the response to my enquiry.
Passport will be scanned in Australia, Monday early morning,on the   Thanks for your help,
John

That is Fantastic, Not only have you found Bruno, but Anny's Father. I must admit looking at the old German writing "sutterlin"? i would never have found any of these records and links. Going to try to contact the Record offices tonight. Will try by email first, if not I will give them a call. Hope they speak English. LEP1950, no wonder I could not find Rathausstrasse on the maps! I will also try the arienausweis address.
I am going to request Bruno Meyers (1905)/Anny's Birth cert (?), will try the marriage between Bruno and Anny (?), these I guess maybe available at the Standesamt? Carinthiangirl I will try the link contacting a person and see how I get on..
Really cant wait for the weekend to get my teeth into all the info sent by you guys, thanks again LEP1950, APwright and Carinthiangirl. The Impfgesetz was to big to post on this site LEP, I dont have a scanner, any chance I could email this to you. I have quite an extensive UK tree on Ancestry.co.uk, could I send it through that if you are a member? INC. Marriage to My Grandfather and quite a small picture of Bruno (we think).

Dear LEP1950, Carinthiangirl and Apwright,
Thanks ever so much for your help in my quest to understand more about my German Ancestors, I really can't believe the efforts that you have all made.

I have just been reading all your comments and the info is certainly helpful. I would love to visit Kiel LEP1950, the only issue being that I have recently emigrated from London to Sydney Aus.
I have not been at my computer for 2 days as I have been up to Queensland for work. Please, please keep up your search, there is an obvious time lag (its midnight here now), but I check the site everyday and again I am so thankful for the help.
I aim to contact the Standesamt for any info they may hold, I will keep you up to date with any response. Thanks for the links LEP/Carinthiangirl, I have spent many an hour searching the web for any info on records held in Kiel, with absolutley no luck at all. Hopefully the Standesamt or Stadtarchiv may hold something relevant.
I have also been given an Impchlein Cert (Vacc. Cert, I think) any ideas what it maybe for? See attached. Thanks all..

As I mentioned before, I have recieved NO replies on the euro site, that is why I expanded my chances of a helpful reply to other areas of the forum. I also modified my question to a potential helper on the Beginners forum (as I am a beginner). Why then refer people back?????? The people who may help are now confused because they will see the question I sent to the Euro board...

Dear Carol,8353 ;D
The whole reason I reposted my reasonable request for help on the UK forum was that I suspected I may get help. On the euro forum I had no replies for two weeks.. Is it then not ok to ask a wider audience for help??? I recieved help within ten minutes..
