Bleindenstadt

Bailey74

I have two questions. My grandpa was born in bleidenstadt. My uncle told me it was Bliedenstadt. However he put Bleidenstadt, Bleidenstadt, Untertaunuskreis, Hessen-Nassau, Preußen, Deutschland but his parents were married in Bleidenstadt, Taunusstein, Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, Hesse, Germany. Are they the same thing? I know his grandmother lived in Bliedenstadt her whole life. I was also wondering how to find records from there, his dads name was Josef Siegfried, he died before my mom was born in 1961, not sure when, his wife’s name was Elisabethe Josefine Gerhardt. I can’t find any information on their parents, i only know they were married in June 8 1930. I’d love to be able to find any record on them i can, this is the link https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/family/G652-5TZ

thanks everyone

Bleidenstadt is the correct name (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleidenstadt). Since 1974 it is part of the city of Taunusstein, which belongs to the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis (county) in Hesse (federal state of Germany).

The designation  Bleidenstadt, Bleidenstadt, Untertaunuskreis, Hessen-Nassau, Preußen, Deutschland is the old one (before WWII); so both are the same location.

I found the marriage record of Josef Siegfried and Elisabethe Josefine Gerhardt on Ancestry:

Ancestry requires a paid subscription to view the record.

Josef was born 27 August 1905 in Bleidenstadt (Register no 17/1905, Standesamt Bleidenstadt)

Elisabethe was born 1 May 1904 in Bleidenstadt (Register no 26/1904, Standesamt Bleidenstadt)

The birth records will contain also the names of their parents. You can contact the registry office (Standesamt) in Taunusstein with your request: https://www.taunusstein.de/buergerservice/dienstleistungen/geburtsurkunde-ausstellung-900000113-0.html?myMedium=1&auswahl=0. Fees will apply.
