My birth father was German and died in 1960 aged 39. I have his marriage cert so i know the name of my granfather (he was dead when my father married). Frankly, I have no idea how to get info from Germany. Does anyone know what the set-up is in Germany, what useful sites there are? (anything like GR?) or any other tips for an English man who speaks not a word of German. I have a friend who does speak German so will be able to help with translations but he has no interest in genealogy so cannot help me on that side of things. Gerry |

There's sure to be a rootsweb for country Germany and maybe even the surname. Could also try the surname search engine "rad de kajadsen" or something like that - sorry the web address is on other computer. Will update message with proper address when I can unless someone can do so now. |
