Hello everyone,
I do not know how to move forward in the genealogy.

The facts:
Amanda Jane nee Bryson
born before 1970 (exact date unknown)
died at the age of 36 years (date unknown)

her parents were:
David Alan Bryson (1928 – 1999)
Maria Elisabeth nee Riebold (1926 – 1999)

Location 1994: Hastings, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
(The exact address is known to me)
Location 1996: Havelock North, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
(The exact address is known to me)

Marriage: probably between 1996 and 1999
The first name of the husband is known to me.
The family name I do not know.
The husband might still be alive and I'm looking for him.
Where and how could I find him?

I'm stumped ...

Hi Laryssa!
In 1919 Silesia (Schlesien) has been divided into two provinces: Lower Silesia (Niederschlesien) with the districts (Regierungsbezirke) Breslau and Liegnitz and Upper Silesia (Oberschlesien) beeing the former province Oppeln. The terms "lower" and "upper" refer to the main river of Silesia, the Oder.

In 1938 the province Silesia was divided into the following districts:
Regierungsbezirk Liegnitz
Regierungsbezirk Breslau
Regierungsbezirk Oppeln

After 1941 Regierungsbezirk Kattowitz consisted of 11 counties.

No commisioned research is done, only advice is given (free of charge for AGoFF members, and non members depending upon exspenses).

Church Records
Some of the church records from the former Prussian provinces on the eastern side of the Oder-Neisse-border (East Prussia, West Prussia, eastern Pommerian, Posen, Silesia, and the eastern portion of the Brandenburg) can be found at the Evangelisches Zentralarchiv in Berlin, Jebensstrasse 3, D-10623 Berlin. The archive will only answer simple inquiries and does not conduct research itself.

Civil Registration Records
Civil registers of births, marriages, and deaths were introduced in October 1874. The Civil registry office is called the Standesamt. Before this time, the Lutheran and Catholic churches records (1815-1874) or special Dissidenten-Register (1847-1874) served as official registers, and a duplicate copy was deposited at the local court (Amtsgericht). Most Standesamt (Polish: Urzed Stanu Cywilnego) records remained in the old offices and were taken over by the Polish authorities in the areas annexed by Poland in 1945. They are listed in the Gazetteer of Polish People's Republic Localities. The full title is SPIS MIEJSCOWOSCI POLSKIEJ RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ LUDOWEJ, published in Warsaw 1968, and on LDS microfilm #844,922. Standesamt records over 100 years old are archived in Polish State Archives (see Polish Archives below).

These groups are very helpful:

Hi,
There are: Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934

This database contains passenger lists of ships from 1850 to 1934 from the port of Hamburg, Germany, expired (except for the years 1915-1919 due to World War I)

Please note that so far only the years 1877 to 1914 have been indexed. All images are still available for 1850-1934. If you can not find your ancestors with a search by name, try to search the images on the vintage. You can also begin with a search here: Handwritten Indexes, 1855-1934 (http://search.ancestry.de/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=1166)

regards

Hello,
