Hello Everyone, I have several family letters written in German...probably what is known as "Old German" or "Old High German". What I know for certain is that the penmanship and language are not the current German. It is difficult to figure out even the spelling of the words. I believe the letters start out with "Linbn Nirlftn". I believe the letters are written to my grandmother by her uncle...which would be "Liebe Nichte" or "Dear Niece". I would be happy to send copies to anyone interested. Can anyone suggest where I can have these letters translated? I know there are web sites and people who will do this for $35 per page. Is there any other less expensive sources? Annette Vliet in Pennsylvania

Hello Vliet, since I am better in german then in english, I could try to transcribe a letter. Just send and we will see. In deed the old germans "e" is very similar to the "n"! I know that problem on my own. You will not to have to pay for my try!
