A while back I discovered I had a relative who was born in Austria and sent off an enquiry to their sort of equivalent of our TNA.
Today was amazed to received a very detailed reply including the TIME of both the birth and confirmation!
Admittedly my already knowing the exact date of birth, name of person*, town and area of Austria helped.
* on English documents her first name was Cecilia but on the German language document it appears as "Zäzilia"
suble "Anglication" of foreign names can be a stumbling block sometimes. :mad5:
