Hello,

I have a question, do you know if your George Reed ever immigrated to south africa? or know where he died?

I have an ancestor also named George Reed and i dont know much about him except that he was born in the UK and died in 1904 in south africa

Just curious if they overlap

Thank you

Hi,

I have a ancestor named Helen Reid (nee Kelman) she married a James Reid in 1779 in Rothiemay, Banffshire.

Helen was born in 1755 (location unknown)
Died & Buried in rothiemay december 24, 1830.

I don't know if thats too far back or too little information. I was hoping that maybe one of your ancestors had a sister or daughter named Helen

Europe / Missing Birth Certificate
« on: Tuesday 28 November 23 16:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for my great-great-grandmother's birth certificate. I have found her death certificate but there is no mention of who her parents names are.

Her name is: Anna Bertha Hoppe (nee Babin)
Born: Oct 16, 1872 in either modern day Szczdore or Breslau, Prussia.
Died: Mar 8, 1929 in a sanitorium in Berlin

She was married to Otto August Hoppe and lived in South Africa, she went back to germany for treatment (of an illness i do not know). I cannot find any information about her parents or where she comes from other than her birth place.

According to the parish in Szczdore they do not have documentation with Anna Bertha Babin as a name. no babin information.

If anybody knows how to access polish/german documents during the Prussian era that would be fantastic.

Thank you
