Sue thanks again for your advice. What an amazing place this is here, with so many helpful people!

Justin, I am tracing back my Father's adopted parents family. Though he was adopted, I am still very interested in the fate of his family. I have very little information as his adopted Mother passed away 31 years ago and his adopted father many years before that.  But I will share what I have. They arrived in Australia on 4th January 1938 and adopted my Dad in 1948.

Grandmother:
Margot Schiff born approx 1916 in Dortmund.  Father's name as listed on her death certificate - Arthur Schiff. She died in Sydney Australia in 1977.

Grandfather:
Otto Friedberg born 27 Sep 1904 in Bogel. Died 1964 in Sydney Australia.
His Father is Albert Friedberg born in 1876 in an unknown city in Germany. He died in Sydney Australia in 1956. Albert's death certificate showed 2 other children both deceased Meda Friedberg and another name I can't recall as I don't have the certifiate with me at the moment.
His Mother was Eva Hirsch born in 1872.
Otto's parents came out to Australia on 11 July 1939. I can find no record of Eva's death.

Thank you so much for your offer of help. I am totally overwhelmed by the help I have recieved here in such a short period of time!

Kind Regards
Rachael

Justin and Sue,

Thank you so much for your help. I will give those email addresses a try. What are the chances of them speaking English do you think? I will give it a try and then send a translation in German if I have to.

My family were Jewish, so I suspect some may be harder to trace after WWII. But I'm certainly going to give it a go!

Thanks again
Kind Regards
Rachael

Hi Maureen,

Thanks for this info. I'm still trying to work it all out. I think I am descended from his first marriage to Annie N Murray. At least that's what it says on my Grandmother's birth certificate. She was Marion Parkinson and I remember hearing she spent some time in an orphanage. I also remember hearing we had Indian roots somewhere, but I never knew the specifics. Unfortuately she passed away many years ago now, so I've lost all that history. Though I believe her sister is still around, so I really probably need to get in contact with her for some more information.

I'm really interested in what you found out about the family though.

Kind Regards
Rachael

I would like to request the birth certificates of my grandmother and grandfather who were born in Germany. But I'm having trouble finding the address of who I should contact to request these.

My Grandfather was born in Bogel  in 1904 and my Grandmother in Dortmund in 1916. Can anyone help me out as to the best way to request these certificates?

Thanks for your help!

Maureen,

Fredrick Parkinson (Stacey Lall) was my great grandfather. Are we related in some way?
I have only just begun my family tree search and I am so excited to have found this thread.

Kind Regards
Rachael
