Searching for missing Great Aunt last seen in Hindenburg/Zabrze in 1940

Again, for Alex. I made an information request to Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in Katowice regarding the death of Hildegard Magdelina Kolassa. I received a reply that there is no record of her death in their electronic database. She would most likely have been married, at least once, if she lived to 86 years of age. I’m not sure that Urząd Stanu Cywilnego would be able to identify her by her maiden name.

Thanks for your help with this.

Hello @damesinflames. This is the website for the Civil Registry Office in Katowice: https://mojekatowice.pl/w,usc-urzad-stanu-cywilnego,19,285159.html. On the opening page select „Send Inquiry” (Wyślij zapytanie).

Happy hunting.

Hello Axee. Thanks for your interest and information. I have recently been in email contact with USC Katowice. They confirmed that the record 4545/89 is for Hildegard Magdalina Kolassa. They have agreed to provide me with that document. I am now in the process of providing them with the necessary request form and payment information. The people at USC Katowice have been very friendly and helpful throughout the process

I would like to thank axee/Bogusław for the time and effort he spent selflessly helping me make connect with a lost branch of my family tree. I have donated zł750.00 PLN to Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Genealogiczne. I would like this contribution to be in the name of Bogusław in recognition of his contribution. It is members like Bogusław that make an organization such as this an important contributor to those researching their Silesian roots.
