May God bless all of you for your prompt and helpful suggestions in my hour of need regarding my wife's German birth certificate!! You gave me great comfort with ways to solve my difficulty and made me realize that I was not alone.

This afternoon I managed to locate in a deteriorating wooden box we had in storage for decades the original papers which had been lost since the 80s.

Freepers are the most knowledgeable people on the planet and seem always ready to help a fellow in need!!

Special thanks go out to Moltke, a Freeper living in Stuttgart who offered to personally go seek the documents I desperately needed. Bless you my friend!! And God bless Free Republic!!

I am happy that the problem was solved in such a straightforward way. The tone of relief in your message is palpable - heaving to deal with a serious health issue and then that on top, no one needs that.

Like I told you in my earlier private reply, I once had the good fortune to receive help from strangers in a similar, though not nearly so serious, matter. Thought I’d offer my help likewise.

I’ll still keep you and your wife in my prayers.
