During WWII era, every citizen in Germany had to report ancestry back to around 1850, with all data certified by government official, and for better jobs he/she needed to go back to 1800. I don't remember details, only concepts. My Germans were in USA before 1900, so I mislpaced the stuff. I think it was at Jamboree a few years ago.Rich in LA CA --- On Mon, 10/10/11, Margaret DeAcetis <med_11...@yahoo.com> wrote:

To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Date: Monday, October 10, 2011, 11:29 AM --- Hi all, I received birth records for my grandfather from a state municipal archive iin Germany (photocopies). Because I had the names of his parents, I was also sent photocopies of police reporting forms regarding them. Apparently, it was customary for the police to keep files of local residents' addresses. These were updated whenever a person moved. Coincidently, these forms gave the birth dates of my grandfather's parents. These records are clearly not birth records. I want to document that information. How do I do that? Checking through the sourcewriter templates, I could not find a category to fit this governmental reporting category. The generic option did not include photocopies for any source. In the help section, I found a description of the source type using the basic system that allows someone to add new types simply by tying them. Is that my best option? Opinions welcome. Best, Margaret .
