This is a copy of my mutters birth certificate. She would be 87 tomorrow. If you look closely at the stamp on the right side of the document you will notice their is a swastika under the eagle. With this on her birth certificate she was unable to get a job after her high school graduation in 1942. My mother had lived in the USA since 1926.
The only job she could find was as a clerk in a bakery.
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI come to your blog via Lucy's blog.
I just started doing my search.Oh my gosh, what work that is. I joined ancestry.com...
I have traced my family back to my great-great grandparents who came to America from Wales on the Emigrant.
It is soooo interesting, but I spent a whole week-end searching and still have a way to go. Now I need to get it all on paper in an orderly way..lol..I'm thinking of getting a dry eraser board and putting everything down on that first..
Good luck in your search,
Sheri
