Explanation:
explanations of the German terms, Geburtsschein, -urkunde, Abstammungurkunde:

Geburtsschein, Geburtsurkunde, Abstammungsurkunde ...
Was muss ich sonst noch wissen?
Die Art des auszustellenden Geburtsnachweises sollte sich nach dem Verwendungszweck richten.

Der Geburtsschein enthält

* den Vornamen und Familiennamen des Kindes
* den Tag und Ort der Geburt

Die Geburtsurkunde und die Abstammungsurkunde enthalten

* die Vornamen, den Familiennamen und das Geschlecht des Kindes
* den Tag und Ort der Geburt
* die Namen der Eltern, wobei in der Abstammungsurkunde bei einer Annahme als Kind auch die Namen der leiblichen Eltern erscheinen. Des Weiteren erscheinen die Religionszugehörigkeit und der Wohnort der Eltern.

i.e. Abstammungsurkunde also contains the names of an adopted child's biological/birth parents

ergo:

Leave the German term (italicized, of course) and, in brackets or parens, add: *German birth certificate which includes the parents' names, religion, and address, as well as names of an adopted childs' biological/birth parents* ... sth along those lines

family book


Explanation:
There is a difference between a birth certificate and the Abstammungsurkunde, i. e. the "Familienbuch", which is more detailed and is a record of family births, deaths and marriages for several generations. The birth certificate is only part of it. "Family book" is how it got translated in my own papers, but this term is not listed in Webster's...
