Member Since: September 2004 Posts: 1 Send Message	I have just found birth and marriage information about relatives born in Germany in about 1850. Can anyone suggest the best way to start my research given that I know nothing about German registration or census records and neither do I know the language! I have been quite successful with research in England mainly using Ancestry and Parish records but so far have been defeated by German websites. Any help would be much appreciated. Jane
