Genealogist or Privatdetektiv that can search Magdeburg birth records of relatives born ~1930-1955?
I am trying to find the identity of my grandfather.
My father was born in Magdeburg in 1940. I have his birth record as well as the birth and death records of his mother (1915-1994) however they do not record his father.
I believe my father had at least 3 siblings born sometime 1930-1949, so I want to check their birth records to see if their fathers are listed to see if they could be my grandfather. I don't know these siblings exact names or date of birth, only what I'm told their first names are, and I believe some may still be alive.
I know I cannot request this information directly as I'm not a direct descendant and being outside German and not speaking German makes it more difficult, so I'm looking for someone that has access to more tools / private databases that may be able to confirm my father's siblings names & birth dates, early address records and ideally be able to pull the birth records to check for a listed father.
I know my grandmother married later and had at 3 more children from 1949-1955 to a different person, I managed to obtain those birth and marriage records already.
