Thanks for the feedback. In answer to your request, as far as I know, essentially no German civil records offices (Standesaemter) have web sites. Many German towns do have web sites, that often list the phone numbers and addresses of the Standesaemter, but that's usually as far as it goes. =Jim Eggert EggertJ@LL.mit.edu ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Return-Path: <jonathan@desrosiers.on.ca> From: "Jonathan Ratcliff" <jonathan@desrosiers.on.ca> To: <EggertJ@ll.mit.edu> Subject: Regards to your Genealogical Web Page Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 11:37:35 -0800 Mime-Version: 1.0 boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0004_01BD2017.A4EEEC20" X-Priority: 3 X-Msmail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.2106.4 X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.2106.4 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0004_01BD2017.A4EEEC20" Content-Length: 3802 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BD2017.A4EEEC20 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Sirs; I wish to send thanks to you for posting such a helpful web site on = German genealogical research meatheads.
