Sally,

You should start with the civil birth certificate from the registry office (Standesamt) in Itzehoe.

Stadtverwaltung Itzehoe
Reichenstraße 23
25524 Itzehoe
Tel.:04821/603-0
Fax:04821/603-321
Email: stadtverwaltung[AT]itzehoe.de

Under German Law, only direct descendants of an individual are entitled to receive copies of birth, marriage or death certicates, so you should possible send a copy of your husband's birth certificate.

Good luck, Justin

Thanks Justin

I didn't get anywhere with anything else. So I will give that a try. We don't speak german so hopefully they speak english. I will email first.

Best Wishes

Sally

Maybe this Link can help you:

http://www.akvz.de/e107_plugins/akvzdb_menu/akvz.php

The members of the akvz publish the old national census-register of Schleswig-Holstein.

Use the Button *Datenbanksuche* on the left and write the names you´re looking for in Such-Option -> Name

Tell me, if you need more help
