Help Locating A German Passport Record

[brodygray]

Hello All,

I’m relatively new to this group. I am looking for info related
to my GGM’s German passport. She emigrated from Magdeburg, Germany to the US in 1913. I’m assuming that at that time she would have needed a German passport in order to travel abroad.

She traveled through the port of Bremen, and I have her ship manifest details.

I saw that the LDS may have the passport records for passports issued through Hamburg, but it is not available online.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!!

Hallo Sabine,

wie geht's? I received my great-grandmother's birth certificate from Magedburg last year. Based on the certification on page 2 - does this authenticate her German citizenship?

Nice to hear we originate from the same town.

Vielen Dank,

Damian

Hello Damian,

Danke der Nachfrage. Mir geht es gut, und Dir?

That is interesting. Your family lived in a part of Magdeburg I know well. A part of my family lived there until about seven years ago. Magdeburg-Buckau was a very industrial area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckau_(Magdeburg)

Your family lived in Magdeburg-Buckau, Dorotheenstraße 12. Unfortunately this area was very much destroyed in several bomb attacks in WWII, so that there are not many old buildings left in that part of Dorotheenstraße. Dorotheenstraße 10 is a newer appartment buildung today. But there are a lot of pictures in the internet available which can give you a good idea how they lived in those days.

The stamp on page 2 is just an official stamp to verify that the copy is from the original Geburtsregister of the Standesamt Magdeburg-Buckau. It also mentions that this official certification is just to be used for the purposes of matters regarding the citizenship.

I don't know how far you are with this family, but on ancestry are more records available. There is also the marriage certificate of Margarethe's parents, her fathers death certificate.

If you are interested I can send it to your e-mail.

And if there are more questions, let me know...

Best wishes
Sabine

Vielen Dank. I would love that!!

That would be great. I’m trying to determine what I need to prove her citizenship.

Best Regards,

Damian
