  • Long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a sub to German historical newspapers?

    Or know any German forums where someone might be able to help?

    I'm trying to find an obituary for my great grandfather in the Spandauer Volksblatt on the 13th January 1972.

    Thanks!

    Try this site - it says it covers deaths from 1946 from the Spandauer Volksblatt.

      Thanks Linda. That's where I saw that there was an obituary. It says that one was placed but I guess I need to access the archives itself to read it.

        Been looking, but the only thing I can see are sites to purchase old papers, not what you want. Will have another try later

          Actually it is 8 January 1978 not 1972!

            And I've posted on the European board of Rootschat. I'm hoping that someone might have a subscription.

              Hi Jo,

              I have been in touch with the Spandauer Volksblatt and the the State history museum (who hold the archives of old newspapers), today (5. April)
              They have all the details for Walter, regarding his 89th.birthday in 1972 and his death in 1978.
              They said I should receive a responce (i.e. copies of the newspaper announcements, within 7 days.

              So please be patient, as soon as I get their reply, I will pass it on to you.

              Brian
