Civil evidence: documents, acts and views

12 identified documents + 2 directory pages awaiting edition identification · 26 digital records

The 6 German civil-register entries document 8 acts: three births, two marriages, one death, a divorce and a surname restoration. Ruth’s marriage entry carries the last two as marginal annotations. Pages, reverse sides and detail photographs do not add acts. The two 1940 directory spreads count as one volume; the two undated directory pages cannot yet be assigned to a volume.
