Re: Need death record/Rhineland-Palatinate

Betty, first of all, a language issue:

I have the feeling you might not be aware of it, but "Pfalz" is simply German for the "Palatinate", just like "Deutschland" is German for "Germany". So you're actually referring to the new western German state of Rhineland-PALATINATE. Were you aware of this? (Just like the U.S., Germany, too, has always been made up of states, by the way.)

Before, you were looking for somebody's birth record, and now you're looking for people's death records, and again, you're forgetting Germany's privacy laws. If a death occurred less than 30 years ago, a copy of the death record can be issued only to direct descendants -- children, grandchildren, etc. -- of the person in question.
