I have reached a dead end with my family tree and am looking for a bit of help.
I was searching marriage records and found something on another site,
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JHJK-H8D
this has on it a batch number and source film number, but unfortunately no image and no way of ordering the certificate.
Does anybody know a way of ordering the certificates from Germany.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Local Civil Registrar's Office:
Most civil birth, marriage and death records in Germany are maintained by the civil registration office (Standesamt) in the local towns. You can usually obtain civil registration records by writing (in German) to the town with the appropriate names and dates, reason for your request, and proof of your relationship to the individual(s). Most cities have websites at www.(nameofcity).de where you can find the contact information for the appropriate Standesamt.
Government Archives:
In some areas of Germany, duplicate civil records of births, marriages and deaths have been sent to the state archives (Staatsarchiv), district archives (Kreisarchive), or other central repository. Many of these records have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library or through local Family History Centers.
******
If you don't speak/write German, use an on-line translator, translating each sentence seperately. Keep it simple.
Send a copy in English at the same time, then if the German version is gobble-de-gook, they've a better chance of working out what you mean.
