GERMANY Birth Query

[kjmck]

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone could help me locate any birth information on the below individual.

Waltraud Marie Rosine Krumwiede. Born 1929 in Germany, died 2007 in Wales, UK.

Many thanks,

Keelan

When I was researching my German ancestry I used GEDBAS in the hope that somebody was also researching the same family.   As I didn;t know the place of origin I simply entered the surname and hoped that the search results would prompt a memory that gave me an idea of place of origin.  For instance I see that the surname was popular in northern Germany, which suggests Hanover area.  The Germanic peoples used a similar naming pattern as the British people, so it's helpful to know siblings names or their children's names...

I also used the German telephone book.  the white pages for personal names and the yellow pages for business names.  Simply entering the surname could again bring up results of places where the surname is most prevalent.

You might find this familysearch page helpful, especially if you know the port of entry, or the American state where the ancestor landed

Birth records are kept at the local level so you must know location AND they are protected by privacy legislation for 110 years (unless you are a direct descendant).

Interestingly, there is another family with the same name in the 1891 Census in Wales; perhaps a connection worth pursuing.

The name of her father should be noted on the marriage record from 1952 in Wales.
