I have recently subscribed to MyHeritage after being advised that it was more likely that I would find out about my Eastern European background.
One of my dna matches comes back as 1st cousin's daughter - which would be a very close relationship, if correct, but I am not getting any response from the person who has built her tree.
I am wondering, and hoping that someone on this site would be able to find a marriage record for this lady's grandmother, who I suspect might be one of my father's sisters.
On my tree, I have a sibling to my father named Franciska, born on 25 September 1890 in Kl. Underberg to Franz Chylla (this name is often spelled Chyla or Chilla) and Julianna Manikowska.
On the lady's tree, she has listed her grandmother, Franciska Maria, as born on 25 September 1888, and was married to a Hermann Rotther/Rother She also states that Franciska and Hermann went on to have a daughter, Elizabeth Johanna (married name Kawlowski) 1917-1997.
Could this lady's Franciska and my Franciska be the same person?
I am hoping that a marriage record between Franciska and Hermann might name Franciska's parents as Franz Chylla and Julianna Manikowska.
Please, please, please,can anyone help?
*** An update *** I might have found a marriage between a Hermann Rother and a Franciska Chyla in Nowe, 1908.
How could I find the actual marriage record, and would it show the names of the parents?
