All,
I am translating a document by the Hessische Staatsarchiv Darmstadt that describes how various documents relating to family law were maintained prior to 1900.
The passage in question reads "Bis 1900 wurden bei den Amtsgerichten die Unterlagen getrennt nach einzelnen Orten geführt. Meist fasste man alle Arten von Familienrechtssachen, d.h. Testamente, Erbverträge, Nachlassverteilungen und Vormundschaften zusammen. Getrennt davon wurden die ***Sterbfallsanzeigen*** der Ortsgerichte aufbewahrt"
As far as I understand, a city court notifies its relevant district court of a person's death through a Sterbfallsanzeige.
The source text is from Germany (Hessen), client is in Australia.
Many thanks!
Peter

death notice
I've seen this used and it fits well in your context seeing as you need a plural version.

: This sounds like something published in a newspaper by the relatives.

That's true, although the text itself specifies that the notice is from the city court. Still, in light of that, perhaps "notification" is the better option!
