Could your mother have re-married? Have you tried a search on this site.
Good luck,
Liz

Hi Daniel,
Research for germany is not straightforward. There is no central repository as such and you often have to prove your relationship in order to obtain information. Was your mother German? What year range are we looking at. Where were they married?
