I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Linda / Oz girl who has done lots of searching of the Berlin Address Books for me.
I started a few months ago only knowing my grandfather's name and date of birth. I managed to get his military records (which provided addresses) and, with her help, "we" found him in the Berlin address books. "We" traced him back to his birth street so I knew which records office to order from as Berlin has many! I have just received my grandparents marriage certificate which confirms his parents names, birth places and dates. I am so elated, I can hardly believe it!
This forum is so wonderful and I could never have done it without you. So thank you Linda. (I may be back for more help in the future )
