KLOTZ- Germany

[HH]

Hello Justin,
I managed to see the email address before it was "moderated" and have had a reply- in German which I think is just one of those automatic acknowledgement messages but as I can't translate it, I'm only guessing.
I will try to forward it to you as a personal message.

Hello, HH!

It is a long way and- at least in Berlin - a very money consuming request, if you let search the german Standesamt for birthday or day of marriage, when you not surely know the exact day or year .
In Berlin we have many Standesämter, for every part of the town an own! Duesseldorf is also a big town, maybe they have also not only one Standesamt.
If they must search for your ancestor over a range of any years, then  the payment is greater and greater.

But also I, likewise  Justin, propose to write a friendly letter to this Standesamt ( better with Post that with email!): Maybe they help you without formality and without big payment.

Excuse my bad english!

Thank you very much, Wolfgang!
I think your English is very good. I cannot speak German but can understand some written German.

I have had a personal message from someone with experience of obtaining certificates from this Standesamt who has explained what I should do. I hope it will be sufficient. I will let you all know if I am successful,

Hello, HH

I wish you a very good success to find your KLOTZ- ancestor in the STANDESAMT.
I wait with pleasure for the result of searching!

Wolfgang
