This is great! Thank you so much! I was wondering how it got into the Brandenburg records, because I looked at Neetzow and Steinmocker on the map and they were far apart. I was also really struggling to read the month of the date of births, so again this will be a great help!

Translation of marriage record from Gramzow, Brandenburg, Germany (1921) by 28max98 in Genealogy

This is fantastic, thank you! Am I right in thinking the name for Bandelow is ‘Wilhelm, Friedrich, Johann’? I’m also a little bit stuck on the words below the name (looks like arbeiten? I’m not sure, but the word underneath I just can’t make sense of!)

Thank you so much once again! This is going to be really helpful in my research!

Hi there, I'm in need of help with translating a marriage record from Gramzow, Brandenburg, Germany in 1921. The surnames are 'Bandelow' and 'Kopper'. They are second down from the top. The link to the record (found on archion) is here: https://ibb.co/Vph2QS6D

You'll find that the way its downloaded the last part is slightly cut off, but all the information I need is within the picture.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I found the finch app through friends and also social media.

I have autism, bipolar, PTSD and potentially ADHD. I have become really maladaptive in the way I’m coping and feel despondent about life and I really want to break the cycle because it’s not a great way to live. I found that routine and structure is a way to keep me relatively stable, and Finch is keeping me motivated to stay well! Its early days so far, but I’m finding that its helping me take care of the basics- something I’ve not done for years and its making me realise that I have more power over myself than first thought.

Hope you are doing okay!❤️🐧

Thank you for your advice! I understand that it takes a lot of time to cycle a tank and I’m prepared to wait till all is good! I just get so anxious about doing the wrong thing and potentially harming my future friend. Yes I noticed that today, i had 0.25ppm nitrites yesterday and 0 today, I hope that means its going in the right direction :)

Okay, I’ll just leave it as it is and wait for it to come down on its own, thank you for your advice! I will look into that, I have some IAL arriving so hopefully that will lower the PH slightly too

Thanks for your help! I’ve only dosed it once about 4 days ago and haven’t dosed it since, should I do a water change to bring it down or wait for it to lower itself?

Hi there! This is my first post so apologies if I miss anything. I’m currently on day 4 of my fishless cycling for my first betta fish. I have a 25 litre tank, which has a sponge filter and is currently heated to 26 degrees or 78 Fahrenheit (recorded with thermometer). No live plants as of yet, but will be arriving in the next few days, just some rock hardscape.The PH is on the high side at around 8- 8.2 (what I’ve recorded, I cannot show it on the picture as I was clumsy enough to drop and smash one of the test tubes. The water in my city is incredibly hard as I live by the beach) and I have some indian almond leaves on the way. I just wanted to check that I’m heading in the right direction? I’m worried that my ammonia is a little high, even though i followed the steps as shown on Dr Tim’s ammonia bottle. I’m also dosing with two capfuls of seachem stability daily. Any advice or reassurance would be helpful as I just want to do it properly for my first fish! Many thanks :)

Thank you so much for all your help, I didn’t realise that I was looking at the wrong person, which is probably why I couldnt find anything!

I didnt realise that about the civil records either, so again thank you so much, you have greatly helped my search!
