A genealogist also.
Have also been to Koln.
Germany has some of the best records for genealogist,
far better than England.
I know the Mormons do extensive work with genealogy. My dad motors down to SLC all the time to delve into their records. My paternal grandmother’s people were German. This is such a loss.
And he would agree with you SoCalPol. The English records can be not so great.
I hope they were copied and stored somewhere but just not mentioned in the article. Such a loss.
