Help with translating a German birth certificate please
« on: Friday 15 March 19 18:00 GMT (UK) »
I have a copy of a birth certificate that I believe relates to Emilie Anna Gerda Kliszcz born on the 12/6/1922 in Berlin. Could anyone translate / confirm this is correct and is the mother & fathers name mentioned anywhere. I am trying to find out about her birth parents as she was adopted in 1933 by a Josef Breuer and never saw her parents again. Given the situation in Prussia in 1932 I fear that her parents may not have survived. Would the surname Kliszcz be of Polish ancestry?
Any help would be appreciated, many thanks Jac

Hi Jac
sorry no father. Yes, Kliszcz could very well be Polish. Then more than likely Klyszcz
do you have any further info? What religion was she?

Hi Dave, That's wonderful that you have confirmed that is her birth certificate. I also have a copy of her first confirmation 12/4/1931 Parish Church of St peter & Paul, Potsdam, so I think that makes her Catholic. Maybe she was baptised at the same church but I don't know how I would find that out. So grateful for your reply & information, all the best, Jac

Dave,
The confirmation certificate is just a picture of the inside of the church with her name & date of confirmation, no more information.
From your translation of the birth certificate it would appear that Emilie Anna Gerda Kliszcz was born illegitimately & her mother was a housekeeper. The family story was that Emilie was told that she was adopted in 1930 when she was 8 years old by complete strangers & never saw her parents again so maybe she knew her father. She always wanted to know why she was adopted. I have a copy of some information about her adoption that appears to be in 1933,  but again I can't translate it. If I post a copy do you think that you could see if there is any more information.
Best regards,
Jac
