German look up please
« on: Wednesday 25 May 11 21:47 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to find out the best way to obtain the birth certificate ( or any other information ) re the following ancester:

Adam Schmidt - born c1874
Born - Cologne area ( or Soligen or Ettingshausen )

understand that he moved to the UK and worked in Savile Row as a Tailor
finally emigrated to South Africa around 1898 - 1898
he died in South Africa in 1962
he married Amalia Frankenberg in South Africa in 1899

Any information on how to progress this research further would be most appreciated

thanks in advance

Anne
