Help Translating German Birth Certificate

[JPing]

By the way, I read somewhere yesterday that if the registrar personally knew the people he did not require documentary evidence and just marked that he knew them. Perhaps that is what 'Bescheinigung“authorized attestation' means.

Yes, thats correct.
The registry would then normally write "der Persönlichkeit nach bekannt”

I have never come across "Ermächtigungs Bescheinigung“ before

Hi Jan
Got this worked out

The bride came from Boizenburg.
To be able to marry in Wilhelmshaven she needed to provide evidence of her civil status and a civil letter of freedom to marry.
This was applied for in the registry office in Boizenburg.

Boizenburg then sent a „Ermächtigungs Bescheinigung“ to the registry office in Wilhelmshaven.

Thanks for that. I shall store it for future use. I am not sure I shall ever get my head around these German certificates but I shall keep trying. The nearest I have ever come to this is transcribing old English wills. Thanks again,
Jan

Hi again Dave.
Just a quick thanks for your tip re burial records. after searching round on that site I managed to find information posted by someone with documentation that got me back to 1622. Thanks so much for your help. My brother in law is thrilled.
