Hi.....
HELIGOLAND was British from 1807 to 1890...it was swapped with the Germans for Zanzibar and my gg grandfather was b 1848 in Heligoland and was a BRITISH SUBJECT on 1881 census..this means born on a British owned Island
prior to being British it was owned by DENMARK
now it is owned by GERMANY
I find it strange that if Carl Freidrich Sacht was born on a British Island I CAN NOT find anywhere on 5 genealogy sites where I can do any research on Heligoland /Helogoland .........anyone any thoughts /ideas......it`s soooooo frustrating...someone somewhere must have records on Carl......allan
