Sometimes turning the page is exactly what research needs. I was at a dead end and didn’t know how to proceed. The famous brick wall. So I took a step back and thought of another way to reach my goal. I took out all the documents again and searched them (offline and online). I came back to an arrival list/passenger list and realized that the uploaded document was not in the correct order. So I turned page after page and suddenly there it was: Birthplace. From there I was able to find birth records in church records and more family members.
