Find Ancestors

Hi
I'm trying to trace my husbands maternal line.

His mother was born in Graz, Austria in 1928.

I have her birth certificate along with a handful of other certificates including some death certificates, another birth and a marriage certificate.

I have managed to translate these and have the information so I can go back a couple of generations on her mothers side however only have her fathers name on her birth cert (no certs held for paternal line).

Any suggestions how i can go about my research? I've looked on the IGI but can't find his birth.

Hi Julie - one side I do find valuable is www.familysearch.org.uk

If you provide the details of the mother and father etc we may be able to look for you or guide you.

Thanks

Hi Paul

Aloisia Maria Kremser was born on 5/2/1928 in Graz, Austria. (birth cert held)

Her father is listed as Franz Kremser and mother was Maria Krenn. I know Maria Krenn was killed on 16/10/1944 along with her other daughter Emma Anna Kremser during a bombing raid. (death certs held)

Maria Krenn's parents were Martin Krenn born 13/9/1867 and Theresia Wolf born 6/11/1864. Martin and Theresia were married on 14/5/1895. (cert held)

Martin Krenn's parents were Josef Krenn and Cacillia Lichtenegger.

Theresia Wolf's parents were Josef Wolf and Theresia Steirer.

I beleive the region of Austria is shown as Heiligenkreuz/W, Leibnitz, Steiermark.

As you can see I can go back a little way on the maternal side however have hit a brick wall on the paternal side of Kremser.

Hi Julie

Do you know Franz date of death?

Thanks

Donna

Hi Donna
I know nothing about Franz other than him showing as father on the birth cert of my mother in law. It states he was a rail road worker.

Not sure of the geography or how i would go about confirming the details.

Julie

have a look at the following links

http://www.austrianfamilyhistory.org/ and another alternative would be to just search google by name, you never know what might come up.

Thanks Donna

I'll try that. I thought it was hard researching in this country however encountering more problems now.
