The following just dawned on me, that the abbreviation. Geb. Sch. may refer to Geburtsschein, which means Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:09:12 GMT Shamal Eladril http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GermanSpecialinterest/message/354 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GermanSpecialinterest/message/354 Hi, Thank you for your response.
