Hi Lyn, A very kind offer, but can I take a raincheck? A gentleman in Germany has offered and I have sent scanned images to him. However I will send an image of the beautiful pouch that the docs come in. I am starting to think that the docs are an invitation to a Baptism/Christening. (Is there a difference?)

I believe that you not actually have seen any real Gothic handwriting *grin* > The certificates are in original handwriting on printed forms.

Send those scans to me and I will look and see what I cant decipher from them.

Hi People, I have about 8 "cards" dated around 1875, and they are generally 12 X 8 cms. The card is really a small folded pouch, which is intricately patterned and perforated on the front. When I turn this card over there are 4 folded-in flaps making the pouch. Inside the pouch there is some sort of certificate, maybe a Christening?? All writing is in German, which I can't read. My early German arrivals were Lutheran, and these documents relate to them. Is there SKS out there that I could send a scan to for interpretation? I will limit my request to just one card. Regards Doug Price
