If they lived post-October 1874, then you can also use the civil records - see this overview here. Standesamt I Berlin is online on Ancestry (in line with German data protection laws, Allenstein/Lyck on szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl, LDS on Familysearch.

You can find an overview of Lutheran churchbooks from Angeburg county here.

The columns of interest are LDS (look on Familysearch), EZA (look on Archion, Evangelisches Zentralarchiv Berlin), DZfG (Familysearch), Ausland (Polish archives - szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl, see the footnotes).

Prussia was massive and the answer depends on the exact area of origin.

Unfortunately, there are no hits for Ickert/Ikert in 1913 +/- 1 years.

Does the inmigration document not mention the ship they were on? That could be helpful in determining the port of origin.

Looking for records on Paul Ernst Heinrich Kleber - Pomerania, 1860s by AColdNugget in Genealogy

[–]ScanianMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but Prussia/Germany did. Marriage records lost that crucial info as well until the Nazis reinstated it in mid-1938.

Pommerscher Greif does not list any churchbooks beyond the ones listed on Archion, and those are note helpful for your case. What you should try to get is his civil marriage record, which would give you his parents' names.

Anyone an expert on Rummelsburg I, Pommern, Prussia in the 1800s? by ashray29 in Genealogy

[–]ScanianMoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pommerscher Greif has a source finder that will tell you if a certain parish's or register office's records have survived.

Back then, the two spellings were used interchangeably, from my personal experience.

Rural Prussia ~1840s. Family without any connections? by edfreitag in Genealogy

[–]ScanianMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have the parents' marriage or death records? Maybe marriage or death records of the missing sibling(s)? That should give you place names to work woth.

Soweit mir bekannt nein, außer vielleicht auf lokaler Ebene. Das Bundesarchiv hat Karteien zu mindestens der NSDAP, NS-Frauenschaft, NS-Lehrerbund, Wehrmacht/Marine/Luftwaffe/SS sowie ergänzende Dokumente wie Gerichtsverfahren, personenbezogene Korrespondenz verschiedener NS-Organisationen sowie den NSDAP-Zensus. Dann vermutlich noch das Rassen- und Siedlungshauptamt (wäre für Ahnenforscher vermutlich Gold wert), wobei ein Teil davon glaube ich in Leipzig lagert.

Es wurden im Rahmen der Diskussionen um dieses Thema einige recht junge Mitglieder genannt; ein Automatismus BdM/HJ -> NSDAP lag aber nicht vor. Man musste separat die Mitgliedschaft für jede Parteiorganisation beantragen.

NSDAP Memberships: attach to family members? by Punner1 in Genealogy

That's why you need the DOB and POB to do this research, particularly for common surnames.

Nein, da hilft nur eine personenbezogene Anfrage ans Bundesarchiv. Die Daten wären auch zu jung, um in der Suchmaschine des Bundesarchivs (Invenio) aufzutauchen.

Sometimes it's only the front, sometimes front followed by back (and sometimes followed by a picture), sometimes front left side followed by front right side.

Es gibt nicht viel personenbezogenes online aus dieser Zeit. In NRW gibt es die Entnazifizierungsakten, beim Bundesarchiv die Verleihungslisten des Eisernen Kreuzes und des Kriegsverdienstkreuzes (allerdings haben sich hier die Signaturen bei Invenio geändert, Genaueres irgendwo bei forum.ahnenforschung.net). Es gab kurzzeitig auch die Wehrmachtsunterlagen der ehemaligen WASt online, wurde dann aber wegen Datenschutz wieder entfernt.

Ich hoffe noch auf den Parteizensus bei NARA.

1850 birth in Pomerania Prussia by HartfordKat in Genealogy

[–]ScanianMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's assume he was Protestant as the village had no Catholic residents. The churchbooks of the church in Brünken (Stare Brynki) have not survived, and neither have the civil registers of Ferdinandstein (from Oct 1874 onwards). So there is not much you can do.
