Hi Rena,

Thanks for the further information regarding first names. That is very interesting.
Eventually when I work out how to do so, I will have to track down church records on the family and see what they reveal.

I am not sure if my great grandfather was a first child otherwise I could have made a guess that his grandfather may have been named Paul.
Family lore states he was one of many children but you just never know. This is the first step in the journey for me. Now I need to dig deeper and work out the next step!

Regards,

Phil

Hi Gisela,

I don't think Paul was an artist. He died before I was born - but i do know he was musical. I recall my father having a large collection of Harmonicas that Paul had left him.

As for your query I am not sure how much help I can be - I am located in Australia, so US or Austrian research isn't too easy from here. :-)

Regards,

Phil

Hi Gisela,

You are fantastic!
That is absolutely brilliant. After all these years we now know an address, a religion and an occupation (a sculptor no less).

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me.
Hopefully one day I can return the favour.

Best wishes,

Phil

Hi Giselap,

Many thanks for what you have done so far.
We always knew the mothers name may have been Helena but never knew it was actually Antonia!

If you have the time a complete translation would be fantastic.

Regards,

Phil

Hi all,

Finally managed to track down a copy of my Great Grandfathers birth certificate from Saxony.
Trouble is it came as a photocopy with no translation.

Can anybody make sense of what it says?
I am particularly interested in the fathers and mothers names etc.

I have added a higher resolution copy to drop box -
