I always knew the birth date of my husband's grandfather. My father in law had stated the birthdate of his parents on documentation he had filled out when immigrating to the U.S.. I also had found grandfather Ludwig's official certificate of marriage and death which stated his year of birth. But for some time Ludwig's birth record eluded me. Then I found it. I would guess the old German script confused the transcriber (it IS really tough for the English speaker). One day I just went through the 1887 Groß-Bieberau book of births page by page. Here is Grandpa Feick or Frick?
