Title: German Church Edinburgh
Post by: Schorsch on Tuesday 22 July 14 10:40 BST (UK)

Hello,
can anybody tell me where are the churchbooks of this church? I'm looking for the marriage of Wilhelm Kuhn (Kühn) and Susanne Schnitzler on 21 (or28) September 1891. This Church told me that they don't have the books before second world war.
Maybe anybody knows if there is a church or other archive where the books could be.
Thanks a lot and excuse my bad english

Hi,
     If you have the marriage certificate it should give you the names of witnesses on it as well as the

parents and the minister who married them .
