[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] adoptions (was: Red Cross in Germany)

[Rose Ingram]

Thank you to everyone who replied.

As this young man does not have internet access, I'm going to suggest to him to contact/phone the German Embassy closest to him who may be able to do something on his behalf or direct him to the proper authorities.

  Rose, I'm very unshure, if the Red Cross can help in this situation.

  The researcher need the birthplace and -date. This young data collect in the "Standesamt" of birthplace. About adoptions he can try to ask in the "Jugendamt" of the same birthplace.
