[APG Public List] Death of a US citizen abroad

[Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer]

I have a question to piggyback on this. My husband's
great-grandfather's sister, who was naturalized in the US, died while
on a visit to Germany (Berlin) in 1908. Does anyone know how far back
before 1975 these records go?

Thanks!

Christine
