Look in 'search all trees' to find out if anyone else on GR is researching them

What do census records say about the birthplace?

My wifes great grandfather was John Berg, proprietor of the Cocoa Rooms in South Shields in 1884 when he married Jessie Forsyth. They had a daughter called Cecilia Berg. John's father was Joseph Berg, a farmer. We understand that Joseph and possibly John may have been born in Germany. Has anyone got Berg's in their ancestry?
