Is there anyone on the list willing to tackle a translation of an old document in German from 1839? I have tried to make sense of it but I am unable to pick out enough of the important facts and I am also not confident that I have even found the correct record as the handwriting is so archaic! The only part I can make out for certain is that the date of the record is 18 October 1839. Here are links to the three copies I have of the document which can be downloaded to your computer if you wish. The record I am interested in is the top one in each image, #29. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45474185/scan%2027.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45474185/scan%2028.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45474185/scan%2029.jpg Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please write to me OFF LIST as this is NOT a record from Alsace, however I know that there are some on the list who are very helpful and have the ability to translate German documents so I thought I would ask if anyone was willing to help!
