Gras family of bochum, germany

Hello,
Do you know about this? : http://records.ancestry.com/Me…records.ashx?pid=60191772
The Parents are born in Germany.
I hope, that will help you.

Greetings from Germany,
Flexi

If you found the record of your grandmother's sister, you know the names of your greatgrandparents. Please let us know these names, too. The more details you provide, the better we can help.

It's a pity that you didn't have the time to visit the Bochum city archive, because this is exactly where you need to go. In addition to the birth, marriage and death records you could have asked for historic population registers (Melderegister), which list the people that a family consisted of and the places (streets) where they lived.

If you use the meta search (Familienname = surname, Ortsname = place) for all the databases on Genealogy.net you'll find a few Gras and Graß including some from Bochum.

bochumgrumme, Thanks for your e-mail. I'd recommend to post the names of your greatgrandparents here in this thread. I personally can't help with further information on your ancestors, but maybe another forum member can.
