I have a formal German & English letter into the Standesamt in Berlin.
It has been since July 7th when I sent it.
It is not totally in German because my German is
too poor anymore to really compose it entirely.

Though I don't have a birthplace for my Great-Grandfather
(an issue of severe consternation for finding my German Jewish family)

Anyone aware of how long the archivists there might take to reply?

Sincerely & thanks all,
