Bob,
Where do you think I should search for my great grandmother's birth records?
I have her name (Emilie Prohl) , year of birth and family word of mouth believes she was from Tegel, Berlin.
Regards,
Sean

Loo,
I too am looking for German & Austrian relatives. My great grandparents are shown on the 1901 census in London as being from these countries.
My family thought my great grandfather was French up until I found this census info a week ago, his surname was Radocaj (though the census had it as Radoschey) he was a Master Hairdresser working from home and his nationality is shown as Austrian. That's all that is known about him.
My great grandmother (surname Prohl) was supposedly from Tegel, Berlin and the census does show her as German so the family got that bit right.
I have their wedding certificate from 1896, the census info and my grandmother's birth cert also from 1901 (shown on the census as 4 day old infant child - good timing for the census).
I am struggling with where to go from here with both of them. Do you know of any records I could search in Tegel (I know the approximate year of her birth) and any of the same in Austria?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have only just joined this web chat site and am currently researching my family's history.
My great grandfather of Austrian descent (only found that out from the 1901 census - my family thought he was French!) is listed as a Master Hairdresser in London on my grandmother's birth certificate of 1901. Did you have any success with the suggestions that jorose made regarding records kept at that time?
