Europe / Re: Exploring French records for Italian immigrant ancestors
« on: Friday 23 April 21 16:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I remember well that last year there were two or three threads here on rootschat about the same family.
I remember that I found some records in France and many records in Italy on the relevant online archives for you back then.

This is the thread with all my research results:

You should find birth, marriage, death records and censuslists (1926, 1931, 1936) of Paris here:

The webpage is quite old, but the guide still is useful.

I'm Swiss and did a lot of researches in Switzerland, and so I can say that the most important Links are missing on this website.

There are no Links to the churchbooks which are now online in some cantons.
(But unfortunately the one's of the canton Aargau are not online.)
There are no Links to the other important documents which are online in some cantons.
There are no Links to the city directories, newspapers and periodicals which are also online.

I think familysearch only links to the churchbooks they have on their own database. But some cantons have their own website with the churchbooks or the Stammbücher or some other important documents online.

I know some other archives and websites (of genelogical or historical societies) of the canton Aargau, but neither for the Brugg area nor the time in question.

Hi KPM

The churchbooks of the canton Aargau are held in the State Archives of the canton Aargau (they are not online).

State Archives of the canton Aargau - Genealogical Researches

State Archives of the canton Aargau - churchbooks
https://www.ag.ch/de/bks/kultur/archiv_bibliothek/staatsarchiv/bestaende_sammlungen/kirchenbuecher/kirchenbuecher.jsp

There is also a Swiss Genealogy Forum, the Geneal-Forum, maybe someone already researched the surname Siegrist of Brugg or can help with the archives or knows some other sources.

Northumberland / Re: Did George Marley & Jane Chisholm marry in Switzerland?
« on: Sunday 28 March 21 20:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi

If  you want to find a marriage record in Switzerland you need to know in which place and canton this marriage took place.
Civil registry offices were introduced in Switzerland in the year 1875, so you will only find churchbooks before 1875 online.
A first step could be to search the e-newspaper archives (but still not all newspapers from all cantons are online there).

World War One / Re: BBC News , WW1 Winterberg tunnel , hidden in France for a century.

Hi

Quote
Diane Tempel-Barnett, spokeswoman for the German War Graves Commission (VDK), told German radio "to be honest we are not very excited about the discovery. In fact we find it all most unfortunate". It is hard to imagine the Commonwealth War Graves Commission taking a similar line if the bodies of 270 UK troops were found.

I think this sentence was misunderstood, I think she meant that the way this discovery happened was very unfortunate. As far as I know you have to get in contact with de VDK if you are aware of the location of a (yet unknown) German War Grave instead of doing some digging by your self, and you shouldn't make it public via a newspaper.

By the way I'm a member of two German Genealogy Forums and I don't remember that I've ever read about this Winterberg tunnel discovery. I know some people there who could be of great help to identify some soldiers who died in this tunnel. As the article mentions a regiment of the Baden army it is possible that the service records of this soldiers are online.

Other Countries / Re: Russia - Peter Hudjakow /Hudjakob / Hudjakov / Pyotr Khudyakov

Hi Ruskie

As I wrote before, the names of his parents and his place of birth are mentioned in the documents on the Arolsen Archives online, also the countries he intended to go or went to after WWII, there are also two passenger lists. All documents I've found are with date of birth 30th December 1922, so they are all for the same person.

Other Countries / Re: Russia - Peter Hudjakow /Hudjakob / Hudjakov / Pyotr Khudyakov
« on: Monday 08 March 21 03:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Deb

If you want to find information about a displaced person after WWII, the first step should be to search the Arolsen Archives online.
https://arolsen-archives.org/suchen-erkunden/suche-online-archiv/

There are five entries for Peter Hudjakow (one with the names of his parents), two entries for Peter Hudjakob and a collection of documents for Peter Hudjakov (some in Russian language, the others in English and German), all with date of birth 30th December 1922.

These documents say that he was deported and had to do forced labour, so maybe he was no soldier.
If you need help in deciphering or translating these documents from German to English, I can do it for you.

Regards
Svenja
