Where can I get an historic German birth and marriage cert?
« on: Tuesday 20 September 22 18:12 BST (UK) »
Where do I apply for a c1895 birth cert (Danzig) and a 1932 (Hamburg) marriage cert please.

These are both for the grandad of a friend of mine.

Thanks.

Here are the Standesämter (registry offices) for Danzig
You would need to knowwhat part of Danzig they came from
