Today I discovered that the National Archive has some kind of documentation for my grandmother's cousin, Dietrich Peltz. Can anyone tell me what information would be held there ? Would it just be military, or would there be any personal information ?
[What I eventually want to find out is
a) his wife's surname by her first marriage,
b) his father's (Horst Peltz's) date and place of birth - probably 1870s in Zakopane,
c) his grandmother's (Julie Eichborn's) date and place of birth - probably 1850s in Berlin,
d) his great grandmother's name, and date and place of birth, and
e) his great grandfather's (Ludwig Eichborn's) date and place of birth - probably 1820s in Berlin.
I don't expect any of these answers to be held at Kew, but might there be any helpful information, or is it likely to be a purely military record ? ]
